Detailed SWOT Analysis of Fresenius SE & Co.
Strength
1. Strong focus on research and development: Being one of the leading services providers in the healthcare segment, Fresenius attaches great importance to research and development. The Group stays updated with all latest technology and developments so as to serve the patients better and hence is incessantly involved in research.

The German medical care company invested around €15 million which will further help in strengthening the company’s capability to develop new biosimilars specially in the areas of autoimmune and diseases and oncology.

Legal
1. Compliance with product specifications and manufacturing regulations:
Since Fresenius is involved in the production of equipment which are critical to the life of patients, it has to comply with product specifications and manufacturing regulations, as ensured by the quality management systems. These norms are structured in accordance with international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 and also take into account various national and international regulations. These are then implemented through internal standards like quality and work procedure manuals to ensure that it is followed properly. The Group’s production sites, distribution centers and clinics are also regularly audited both internally and externally. The production facilities comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) of the markets they supply. The facilities are audited by public health authorities like U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and other such authorities. Non-compliance with requirements of these authorities would lead to regulatory actions such as warnings, product recalls, monetary sanctions, or delay in new product approvals. Thus, Fresenius needs to be very careful with respect to maintaining the quality of the products.
