Zeitgeist and vision

From an idea to a global player

Heinz Herenz Medizinalbedarf GmbH has a history rich in tradition going back to 1949. It begins with Heinz and Ingrid Herenz, who started from scratch in the post-war period.

It was a time of hardship and the couple saw a great need for medical products. Thus, in 1949, the two founded the company Heinz Herenz Medizinalbedarf GmbH.

In addition to building up a sales force, the small family business also focused on products developed and produced in-house in the laboratory and medical fields. Over the years, these developments gave rise to our own patents and name rights for consumables in the medical and laboratory sector. As it turned out, these ideas were not only zeitgeist but visionary.

Today, more than 70 years later, Heinz Herenz Medizinalbedarf GmbH supplies clinics and laboratories in over 110 countries and has made a name for itself worldwide with numerous patents and trademarks.

Ethical principles as a central idea in daily business conduct

Since our foundation in 1949, we have been constantly adapting our product range to the increasing challenges of the healthcare industry and general progress. We strive to ensure continuous improvement in all business areas through innovative solutions. In doing so, we always put the safety as well as the direct benefit for patients, laboratory staff and medical personnel in the foreground. Through these principles we enjoy the trust of our customers and partners. However, we are also aware that these must not be the only principles for our daily actions. We also consider it our duty to live ethical principles as a central idea in our daily business conduct. For this reason, we at Heinz Herenz Medizinalbedarf GmbH have set down these thoughts and principles in writing in this Code of Conduct.
