Founded in 1863 in Germany, the Bayer Group has established itself as one of the most important and respected international companies, offering the market a wide range of products and services, covering the fields of health, agriculture and innovative materials.
In Brazil, its history is known for over 114 years of tradition. It all began in 1896, when Bayer\s two technical consultants landed in Rio de Janeiro with a mission to raise the commercial possibilities of the young Republic. In the same year was founded the first representative of Bayer products in Brazil, Walty Lindt & Co.
The first firm Bayer\s own trade office was founded in February 1911. The Friedrich Bayer & Co., based in Rio de Janeiro, became responsible for all distribution of products in the country.
