History - Merz Aesthetics

OVER 110 YEARS OF INNOVATION, COMMITMENT AND TRUST

Merz has been a successful specialty healthcare company for more than 110 years. Our company was founded in Frankfurt, Germany by a 24-year old chemist named Friedrich Merz, and we are proud to still be owned today by the fourth-generation of the Merz family. As a company with a long history, Merz has held different focus areas over the years. From dental products to Alzheimer’s disease breakthroughs, we have successfully reinvented ourselves more than once since our founding in 1908.

In 2020, Merz reorganized into three distinct customer-focused businesses. In this new structure, all functions and aspects of global Merz Aesthetics business became solely focused on serving the unique needs of medical aesthetics customers. The Merz Aesthetics global management is now based in the United States, centering the business in the largest and one of the fastest growing aesthetics markets in the world.
