175 years of tradition

We are looking to the future and remain committed to our tradition. Progress is a tradition at Fresenius, and has been for 175 years. Fresenius Umwelttechnik has its beginnings in the chemical laboratory founded by Carl Remigius Fresenius in 1848, which has been an established part of the chemical industry ever since. In the Environmental Engineering business sector, founded in 1992, we develop, produce and sell gas analyzers at our future-oriented site in Herten. We combine this with a growing range of services and, as a system partner, also provide consulting support to industry.
