In 1890, Paul
Beiersdorf sold the company, which now had 11 employees, to the pharmacist Dr.
Oscar Troplowitz, for tragic personal reasons. His greatest achievement,
however, was not forgotten: with the gutta-percha-plasters he created the
nucleus of today’s global company that was named after him.
This is a good
reason on this March 28th, 2022, to spend a little time with the
founding history of the company.
