Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGAA is expanding the capacity for producing dialysis products at its plant in St. Wendel, Germany. The Company will invest a total of approximately EUR 39 million over the next 12 months. About EUR 23 million will be invested in an additional building and two new spinning lines for hollow fibers, the key component of dialyzers (artificial kidneys). Production capacity for these fibers, which are also used to manufacture dialyzers at other locations, will increase by about 30 % at St. Wendel. Fresenius Medical Care will invest about EUR 16 million to increase the production capacity for bags used in peritoneal dialysis. This should increase capacity by some 25%.
