In 1853.

Charles Gerhardt invented aspirin in 1853.
In 1853, Gerhardt neutralized salicylic acid by buffering it with sodium (sodium salicylate) and acetyl chloride, creating acetylsalicylic acid. Gerhardt's product worked but he had no desire to market it and abandoned his discovery.
In 1899, a German chemist named Felix Hoffmann, who worked for a German company called Bayer, rediscovered Gerhardt's formula. Felix Hoffmann made some of the formula and gave it to his father who was suffering from the pain of Arthritis. With good results, Felix Hoffmann then convinced Bayer to market the new wonder drug. Aspirin was patented on February 27, 1900.
The folks at Bayer came up with the name Aspirin, it comes from the 'A" in acetyl chloride, the "spir" in spiraea ulmaria (the plant they derived the salicylic acid from) and the 'in' was a then familiar name ending for medicines. Aspirin was first sold as a powder. In 1915, the first Aspirin tablets were made. Interestingly, Aspirin ® and Heroin ® were once trademarks belonging to Bayer. After Germany lost World War I, Bayer was forced to give up both trademarks as part of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919.

The active ingredient in aspirin, derived from willow bark, has been used for centuries, but the name and the patent (now expired) belong to the Bayer Company, which still makes it. Felix Hoffmann discovered aspirin (from Bayer Company), in Germany - 1897.
Aspirin is the result of a simple reaction between acetic anhydride and salicylic acid.The product was introduced to the public in 1899, along with another Bayer product which they no longer officially market - heroin.

Yes
Charles Gerhardt invented the first aspirin in 1853, when he treated acetyl chloride with sodium salicylate to produce acetylsalicylic acid for the first time. By 1899, Bayer had dubbed this drug Aspirin and was selling it around the world.
I believe that Bayer was the first commercial producer of aspirin.

bayer in Germany
Bayer is a pharmaceutical company which has been in operation since 1863. They make various products including Bayer aspirin.
Bayer actually didn't invent aspirin they marketed it(in the year 1900). Aspirin was first made in 1853 by a french chemists named Charles Frederic Gerhardt by buffering salicylic acid with sodium and acetyl chloride. This idea was lost but was rediscovered in 1899 by the German Chemist Felix Hoffmann. Felix worked for the company Bayer and had the company market it.
