Dräger respiratory and safety equipment

Founded in 1889 by Johann Heinrich Dräger in Lübeck, Germany, Dräger (often referred to as Drägerwerk) is a global leader in the fields of medical and safety technology. The brand is synonymous with high-quality life-support systems, anesthesia workstations, and personal protective equipment used by hospitals, fire departments, and industrial sectors worldwide.

While the company has a massive global footprint with production facilities in the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, the core of its manufacturing remains centered in Lübeck, Germany. The company has historically been a family-run enterprise and continues to maintain this heritage while operating as a publicly traded company on the German stock exchange.

Ownership of the brand remains significantly influenced by the Dräger family through Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG. This ensures that the brand maintains its commitment to engineering excellence and long-term stability, focusing on 'Technology for Life' across both its Medical and Safety divisions.
