Fresenius Medical Care works with thousands of suppliers at its different locations worldwide. These suppliers provide us with the necessary products and services to keep our company running and enable us to be a reliable partner for our patients around the globe.

Fresenius Medical Care partners with the business community around its locations and relies on local suppliers to provide services such as landscaping, repairs, cleaning, and much more. Fresenius Medical Care North America’s diverse supplier network empowers local entrepreneurs and their employees. In 2022, the network included more than 8,000 suppliers, accounting for over $1.7 BN.

For us, diversity in sourcing means working with businesses owned by minorities, women, people with disabilities, veterans, or small businesses, to name a few. Many diverse suppliers are small businesses that often encounter unique challenges such as being allocated smaller loans, higher interest rates, and shorter payback terms. By incorporating supplier diversity in procurement, we enrich and diversify our supply chain while promoting the economic development of diverse businesses.
