History

In more than three decades of sharing expertise in the Philippines, B. Braun has successfully established itself as a reliable partner and provider of health care products and services.

We recognize that in order to continue protecting and improving the health of people around the world, we must nourish customer relationships and provide excellent after-sales service—factors that have contributed significantly to our success. In 2007, we have made our mark in the industry with the achievement of One Billion Peso Sales, which propelled us to the second top spot in the local medical supplies industry.

As a multinational company, B. Braun has benefited from the international exposure and worldwide competitiveness of B. Braun Melsungen AG, one of the world's largest suppliers of healthcare products. Today, B. Braun offers innovation, safety, and convenience in various therapies and indications with its wide product portfolio: sutures; infusion solutions and devices; disposable syringes; surgical instruments; hemodialysis machines and disposables; clinical nutrition; wound, stoma, and diabetic care.
