Dekkers: Japan has good perspectives for the future

This year marks the the 100th anniversary of Bayer's subsidiary in Japan. While Bayer dyestuffs had been sold there since 1886, the official establishment of "Friedrich Bayer & Co. Japan" took place in 1911. Dekkers emphasized Japan's importance for the Group's global business: "Japan is more than just a market to us. This country is known for its strong innovative drive, which has been a constant inspiration to us over the years and has contributed significantly to the development of our global business."

Dekkers also voiced great respect for the way the Japanese people and the country's 3,700 Bayer employees have addressed the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami disaster in March. He expressed his optimism for Japan's future: "I am convinced that Japan will not only recover but will emerge from the disaster even stronger than before."
