Bayer

Bayer, as a life science company, is managed by three divisions: Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Health, and Crop Science. The company's headquarters is located in Leverkusen, Germany, with 111,400 employees and 291 branches almost all over the world. Healthcare, material technology, and crop science are the three pillar industries of the company. On March 6, 1899, Bayer registered the trademark for Aspirin, which later became the most widely used and well-known pharmaceutical brand in the world, known as the "drug of the century," while also inventing the highly dangerous drug heroin. In the pharmaceutical division, we focus on prescription products, especially in the fields of cardiovascular and women’s health, as well as specialized therapies in oncology, hematology, and ophthalmology. This division also includes the radiology business, including medical devices for diagnostic imaging and contrast agents required for these procedures. The Consumer Health division mainly provides over-the-counter (OTC) products in categories such as dermatology, nutritional supplements, pain management, gastrointestinal diseases, allergies, and colds.
