Even though our business segments act independently, there is something that connects us all: We are working on the well-being of patients. We aim to learn from one another so as to become better and contribute to medical advances. Find out what makes our healthcare group special!
Although we are a global healthcare group, we are not known for being known. And that's why we get mixed up with others all the time. Yes, we're called Fresenius, but no, we don't test food. We have nothing in common with the institute of the same name, and neither with the University of Applied Sciences.
And for this mammoth task, we need strong teams — our employees have the necessary potential. Everyone brings their own unique qualities, talent, knowledge and experience to the table, whether in direct contact with patients or behind the scenes in production, research or IT. We never settle for second-best, and always go that one step further to find an even better solution. If this is your aspiration as well, join us. We are looking for people who question the status quo, take the initiative and dare to do something new.
By choosing a career with us, you're choosing a path that gives you a purpose.

These products are related to the Fresenius Institute. The similarity in name has historical origins: In the 18th century, the Fresenius family split into a "pharmacy line" and a "chemical line." The current healthcare group Fresenius was created from the pharmacy line, and the Fresenius Institute in Taunusstein from the chemical line.
The Fresenius logo is a stylized stag antler. The association with this animal stems from the Hirsch Pharmacy in Frankfurt am Main, which has belonged to the Fresenius family since the 19th century. In 1939, the resulting pharmaceutical manufacturing company secured its first registered logo: a stag antler. To this day, the stag remains incorporated in the Fresenius logo.
Over the last 100 years our company has developed from a small pharmacy to an international group. Today over 300,000 people work at Fresenius in over 70 countries, all for the benefit of patients.
