Bayer - at home throughout the world
The Bayer Group is a global enterprise with companies in almost every country. The map shows some of the principal sites.
Asia-Pacific: Important future market
Asia-Pacific, with its enormous growth potential, is one of Bayer's most important future markets. In 2006 Bayer's approximately 17,300 employees in the region generated sales of EUR 4.6 billion - about 16 percent of the Group total. The company's goal is to increase the share of Asia-Pacific sales substantially over the medium term.
Europe is Bayer's "home market"
In 2006 Bayer posted sales of nearly EUR 13 billion on the European market – a good 40 percent of the Group total. A comprehensive distribution network along with major production facilities in Germany, Belgium, France, the U.K., Italy, Spain and Finland give Bayer a strong presence in this important economic region, which has a population of almost half a billion people in the 27 E.U. countries alone.
