From pharmacy to global player
Good ideas, innovative breakthroughs, and an entrepreneurial spirit: this sums up the history of B. Braun. It all began in 1839 when Julius Wilhelm Braun purchased the Rose Pharmacy in Melsungen.
The challenges have changed since the early 19th century.

Over six generations, the company has grown into a global enterprise with subsidiaries on every continent.
