Beiersdorf is preparing the ground for future growth and is realigning the NIVEA brand in its 100th anniversary year. With the business strategy “Focus on Skin Care. Closer to Markets." The company will concentrate on its core competence skin care, placing NIVEA in its center. A comprehensive activation package supporting the NIVEA realignment will begin the implementation phase in May.

With NIVEA as the largest skin care brand in the world we will profit from this strong growth," said Markus Pinger, Beiersdorf Board Member responsible for Brands.
