== Corporate origins == The company was established in Detroit in 1933 by chemical engineer Robert Pauli Scherer. Scherer developed a rotary-die encapsulation machine that allowed soft gelatin capsules to be formed, filled and sealed continuously. The technology was principally used for pharmaceuticals, vitamins, nutritional products and cosmetics.[1] The same encapsulation process could be adapted to produce spherical gelatin capsules containing coloured liquid. R. P. Scherer initially manufactured oil-filled marking capsules used in forestry and livestock applications. During the early 1980s, it became involved in manufacturing water-soluble paintballs for the developing recreational paintball market.[2][4]
