Elastoplast – Experience and competence

Beiersdorf HQ in Hamburg - home of Elastoplast

We are the healthcare brand of Beiersdorf, one of the leading skincare companies worldwide, situated in Hamburg, Germany. Elastoplast has come a long way since the first Elastoplast plaster, which we developed in 1896, when Smith & Nephew companies (founded in 1856) expanded their business to Wound Dresssing. The start of an ongoing success story, driven by progress, quality and innovation.
