Bayer celebrates 125 years of Asprin

Did you know that over 125 years ago Felix Hoffmann, a young Bayer chemist, discovered the ideal formula for acetylsalicylic acid? 

Wanting to help his dad who was suffering from arthritis, Felix had created what is now known as Aspirin! 

From medicine to modern agriculture, it's innovation like this that inspires the Bayer team on the mission of Health for all, Hunger for none.
