Our
Culture
Innovation since 1908 – our history
The pursuit of new solutions and the courage to innovate have been part of our culture from the very beginning and have contributed significantly to making Merz Aesthetics® the successful, globally active organization it is today. Our long-established focus on the needs of our patients and customers remains the hallmark of our business. Because, in the development of all innovations throughout our history, we at Merz Group have always put people first. The company founder, Friedrich Merz, was already directing his attention to people’s needs. His goal was to manufacture something that people actually needed. And to manufacture it in a different and better way.
Founded in 1908 in Frankfurt am Main, the family-owned company Merz was already a guarantor for innovative beauty products in the 1950s. Today, as part of the Merz Group, we are one of the global players in the field of medical aesthetics. For years, our products have stood for high quality in each of their categories.
