History

In 1887, Otto Schott developed borosilicate glass, a form of glassware used to reagent bottles and flasks. From 1911, Schott manufactured borosilicate glass tubing for the production of pharmaceutical ampoules and vials.[8]

Schott Pharma was established as a standalone company in 2022 under the name Schott Pharma AG & Co. KGaA[9][6] through an equity carve-out (or spin-off) from Schott AG, a manufacturer of specialty glass and glass-ceramics.[10][11]In the same year, the company announced their plans to present an IPO, but this was reportedly postponed to 2023 due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5]

In June 2023, Schott Pharma announced plans to hold the IPO in September 2023.[12] This plan was enacted in September, with Schott Pharma going public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.[13] The IPO was initially priced at 27€ per share,[14][15] and a potential valuation of up to 4.1 billion euros,[16] but increased the share price to 30€ the following day.[17][13] The IPO was the largest of the year in Germany.[18][19] In December 2023, Schott Pharma was included in the SDAX.[20] In September 2024, Schott Pharma announced their impending inclusion on the MDAX.[21]
