A stamp to celebrate the Bayer anniversary

Letters sent out within Germany during Bayer's 150th birthday year were marking the occasion: the company has produced its own German postage stamp to highlight the anniversary in 2013. Selected letters sent from Bayer featured the commemorative stamp. It was also possible to order a “portocard” containing the stamp from the Bayer Corporate Shop. The anniversary stamp is only valid in Germany.

The 58-cent German postage stamp in the Bayer anniversary design...

In 2013, every letter mailed from the German sites has borne the corporate slogan “Bayer: 150 Years of Science For A Better Life.” This special postmark was bringing the attention of millions to the company anniversary. Selected mailings featured a specially produced Bayer stamp – for example the invitations to the Annual Stockholders' Meeting in 2013.


The highlight of the anniversary activities in the postal sector has been a foldable portocard, which contained a valid 58-cent stamp. The company awarded this stamp as a prize during various anniversary activities, for example. It is not available commercially or from the post office and is only valid in Germany.
