Fresenius expands corporate headquarters in Bad Homburg with new innovation center
The Fresenius healthcare group is continuously expanding its range of innovative products. A new laboratory and office building with a technical center called KabiLab D20 is being built at Daimlerstrasse 20 on the Fresenius campus in Bad Homburg. It will feature laboratories, a total of 90 desk-sharing workstations, meeting rooms, and storage rooms on an area totaling around 5,000 m2. The move to the new building is planned for mid-2026.
Once completed, around 70 employees from the Fresenius Kabi Business Unit Nutrition currently working in Bad Homburg and Friedberg will relocate to the new building. Among others, they are working on further development of the Fresubin enteral nutrition product portfolio as well as on a special device for producing patient-specific parenteral nutrition. Patients who are unable to meet their nutritional needs through their normal diet need enteral nutrition such as Fresubin. Parenteral nutrition is a form of artificial nutrition that is administered intravenously rather than via the gastrointestinal tract. Fresenius is the world’s leading provider in this field. With the rise in metabolic disorders and chronic diseases such as diabetes, the global demand for special clinical nutrition is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.
The KabiLab is being built with sustainability in mind: Parts of the existing building structure and technical infrastructure are being used, which will significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to a new building. In future, photovoltaic systems will supply green electricity, an efficient heat pump will be used to heat the rooms, and rainwater will be stored to water the new green spaces.
Fresenius currently employs around 2,100 people in Bad Homburg and a further 300 in neighboring Oberursel, who will also move to the campus in Bad Homburg by the middle of the year.
