Inventive talent
Felix Hoffmann, Wilhelm Roehl, Hans Andersag and Walter Kikuth, Gerhard Domagk, Otto Bayer, Hermann Schnell, Friedrich Bossert, Wulf Vater -- researchers and scientists who made history. They were responsible for pioneering inventions that revolutionized medicine, chemistry and materials development: Aspirin™, Germanin™, Resochin™, sulfonamides, and Adalat™.
These outstanding scientists all had one thing in common: they established Bayer's reputation as an innovation company. Bayer retains a strong commitment to this tradition.
