Where our ideas come from: Our research and development centre - also based in Hamburg
We are the healthcare brand of Beiersdorf, one of the leading skincare companies worldwide, situated in Hamburg, Germany. Hansaplast has come a long way since the first Hansaplast Beiersdorf plaster, which we developed in 1882, when Paul Beiersdorf was awarded the patent for the first plaster. The start of an ongoing success story, driven by progress, quality and innovation.

We‘ve been taking care of woundhealing and skin care for more than a century

For more than 125 years Beiersdorf has gained experience and competence in woundcare, more recently in the field of activity support and treatment of muscular pain as well, striving to improve woundhealing and care for your skin ever since.
