5	Market Position/ History	Bayer's journey began in 1863 when Friedrich Bayer, a dye salesman, and Johann Friedrich Weskott, a master dyer, established the partnership “Friedr. Bayer et comp.” This venture quickly gained momentum, laying the groundwork for significant growth. By 1881, the transformation into a joint-stock company provided a robust financial framework for expansion. Under the leadership of Carl Duisberg, Bayer expanded its scope beyond dyestuffs to encompass diverse chemical innovations, establishing itself as an internationally recognized entity by the early 20th century. In more recent years, Bayer has undergone transformative changes to adapt to global challenges and opportunities. The 2010s marked a period of strategic investments, including the acquisition of Monsanto and the spin-off of Covestro. As part of its commitment to sustainability and innovation, Bayer launched initiatives in cell and gene therapy. In 2023, a new chapter began with the retirement of CEO Werner Baumann and the appointment of Bill Anderson, marking a renewed focus on driving the company into a future defined by sustainable growth and groundbreaking scientific advancements.
