Schweinfurt
The award-winning manufacture of dialysis machines in Schweinfurt
Fresenius develops and manufactures medical devices and machines in Schweinfurt.
Since 1979, Fresenius Medical Care has supplied dialysis machines for the treatment of patients with chronic kidney failure from here to destinations all over the world. Doctors and patients trust the high quality and reliability of our innovative products. More than one out of every two dialysis machines in operation in the world comes from our Schweinfurt factory.
Schweinfurt employs approximately 1,000 people in teams that work independently and entrepreneurially. Each team is responsible for its own costs, supplies, delivery dates and the quality of its products.
"Excellency in quality and profitability" is the motto of the mission statement to which all Fresenius Medical Care employees from production, development and administration are committed. Their four goals are: "We want to be the best and the most reliable, to work efficiently and to have a common future."
- To be the best, the Schweinfurt plant offers its clients products of the highest possible quality and durability. Through the continuous improvement of innovative dialysis machines the quality of life of patients with chronic kidney failure is enhanced.
- Reliability is a crucial precondition for the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease, guaranteeing the smooth operation of dialysis clinics and patient safety.
- The Schweinfurt plant sets itself apart from the international competition with efficient operations and clear workflows. However, efficient does not mean cheap. Fresenius Medical Care’s expertise is to produce dialysis products of superior quality or at a favorable price.
- Creativity, flexibility and the highest quality requirements ensure a common future for the employees and the Schweinfurt location.
