The company was founded in Hamburg on 28 March 1882 when Paul Carl Beiersdorf patented the manufacture of coated plasters. Later in 1890, it was sold to Oscar Troplowitz. Under his leadership, the company quickly developed into an international business, launching its first Labello lip care stick and Nivea Creme.

The process of rapid development stopped for a while because of the Second World War. Back then, Beiersdorf had to rebuy the trademark rights, therefore taking some time to come back on the global stage. Though, once it did, it became stronger than ever – by the end of the 1990s, 70 per cent of the company’s sales revenue was generated outside Germany.

Ever since the beginning, Beiersdorf AG kept constantly growing: starting from only eleven employees in 1890, it grew to employ more than 20,000 people by the end of 2018.
