Wilhelm Beier (entrepreneur)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Beier (born April 21, 1956 ) is a German entrepreneur and owner of the pharmaceutical company Dermapharm .

Career

Beier grew up in Bad Münstereifel and began his career as a sales representative for Ratiopharm . At the end of the 1980s he switched to Centrafarm (later “Dorsch”) and when the group gave up its German business, Beier brought former Dorsch products to the Dermapharm company, which Bettina Strohscheer had previously founded. According to Patrick Hollstein's assessment, Beier subsequently bought the rights to medicines that Hollstein referred to as "old originals", for which no one had any more use and which promptly recouped their costs. In 1988 Beier founded OEM, a factory that produces metal cutting.

In 2018, Beier floated a minority stake in Dermapharm and raised around 307 million euros.
