Corporate Legal Structure and Organization CORPORATE LEGAL STRUCTURE AND ORGANIZATION
Fresenius completed its conversion from a German stock corporation (AG) into a Societas Europaea (SE) in 2007. No further change in the company’s legal form is planned for the foreseeable future.
Since January 1, 2008, the Fresenius Group has been divided into four business segments, each of which is a legally independent entity. The business segments are organized on a regional and decentralized basis to provide the greatest flexibility for meeting the demands of their respective markets. The “entrepreneur in the enterprise” principle, with clearly defined responsibilities, has proven itself over many years. We will continue to follow this principle.
