history
Heyer Medical AG was founded in 1883 by Carl Heyer. After completing his apprenticeship as a precision mechanic, he worked as a university mechanic up to the master's examination in Giessen, including for Professor Röntgen . After being entrusted with the monitoring of the inhalation systems in the Wilhelms Inhalatorium, Heyer founded his own precision engineering workshop in which new inhalation devices were developed.
In 1896 he received the first gold medal in Baden-Baden for his developments. Ten years later he acquired the "Herzog von Leuchtenburg" house in Bad Ems , where 135 patients could be treated at the same time. In the prince's room, prominent spa guests, u. a. the King of Belgium, the King of Saxony and the King of Norway. The manufacturing plant was closed between 1914 and 1918 due to the war. Sick soldiers were treated in the inhalatory at that time until it was closed by the occupying forces in 1919. In 1921 the inhalatorium and manufacturing plant were reopened.
After Carl Heyer Junior took over the management of the company in 1928, a new pneumatic device for all respiratory variations for positive and negative pressure therapy came onto the market. Further developments in the inhalation and anesthesia sector followed. Among other things, the pneumatic chamber, nozzle room inhalation devices, ultrasonic room nebulizers and the UDV aerosol device.
Carl Heyer Senior died in 1938 at the age of 88. Since the demand for inhalation devices almost completely declined in the war years from 1939 to 1945, production was greatly reduced. During this time, mostly wounded soldiers were treated in the inhalatorium. In the years that followed, a small group of employees were used to manufacture pharmacist scales, cooking pots, petrol lighters, oil presses and other items from residual material and laboriously procured raw materials, and repairs were carried out on HEYER inhalation devices. In 1948 after the currency reform, production was resumed and the company was able to restrict itself to its original activity.
Over the years HEYER Medical AG has developed from a family business to a medium-sized company. HEYER Medical has been a stock corporation since 2000. HEYER Medical AG has been part of the Aeonmed Group from China since the beginning of 2019 . The headquarters of the Aeonmed Group are located in Beijing.
Today HEYER Medical AG is active in over 60 countries. In addition to the headquarters in Bad Ems, a second location in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is in the planning phase.
