The company was founded in 1835 by businessman Franz Ludwig Gehe in Dresden and opened to the capital market on 1 January 1903 as the result of a conversion into a public limited company. In January 1904, the shares were approved for trading on the former stock exchange in Dresden.
In 1909 the company relocated to a new and bigger site in the Leipziger Strasse and gave up their former seat in the Königstrasse (both in Dresden). The capital increase that took place in 1910 and 1912 laid the financial foundation for the country-wide sale of "drugs and paints, pharmaceuticals and chemical products" in proximity to customers. Following this expansion, the company founded its first subsidiary in Stuttgart, Germany.
