History

DAWN OF AN IDEA: From medical need to biomedical engineering

It’s not the success story; it’s the people behind it. The first chapter of our corporate specialization began more than forty years ago, when Prof. Dr. Henry Alexander embarked on a life of research in endocrinology, gynecology and reproductive medicine. These have always formed the basis for all of our ideas, developments and inspirations.
