Fresenius Medical Care, based in Germany, is the world's largest integrated provider of products and services for individuals with chronic kidney failure. The Fresenius Medical Care Group is expanding their business and services in over 100 countries in North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Fresenius Medical Care Japan K.K. was established in 1993. In 2001, a facility for the manufacture of dialysis solution and its bag systems for Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) in Buzen City, Fukuoka was built.

Mr. Eric R. van Hest, Representative Director and President at that time and one of the founders of Fresenius Medical Care Japan K.K., said "The reasons we chose Buzen in Fukuoka Prefecture are transportation convenience for exporting/importing products to other Asia-Pacific countries, the infrastructure of the industrial park, and the possibility of acquiring adjacent land for future expansion. Even more, Fukuoka Prefecture and Buzen City made a strong commitment to quickly provide necessary and sufficient information to assist us in developing our strategy and project moving forward."

Fresenius Medical Care Japan K.K. is currently expanding its business opportunity to meet increasing demand for its products in Japan and other Asia-Pacific countries, and also intend to strengthen the better communication with Fukuoka Prefecture and Buzen City for the new stage of further relationship. As the global market leader in dialysis products and services, Fresenius Medical Care continues strive to contribute to patients and medical professionals for the best-possible solution to renal insufficiency and for improvement of patients' QOL.
