HELIOS Kliniken GmbH transfers head office to Berlin
Fulda/Berlin, July 16, 2004. The private hospital group HELIOS Kliniken GmbH is
to move its head office from Fulda to the German capital Berlin. The move is
planned for 2005. The news was announced in Berlin by HELIOS CEO Ralf Michels at
a joint press conference with Berlin’s Economics Senator Wolf, Health Senator
Dr. Knake-Werner, IHK President Dr. Schweitzer and Business Development Director
Engels.
The owners and management team of HELIOS Kliniken GmbH decided in favor of
moving group headquarters to Berlin as a result of the city’s growing importance
in the health sector. On June 23, HELIOS acquired Zentralklinik Emil von
Behring, three years after the company took over the Berlin-Buch hospital (1,071
beds). Berlin is also home to the HELIOS Research Center, which coordinates and
promotes medical research throughout the Group. By the end of 2005, HELIOS will
have invested some EUR220 million in its Berlin hospitals and is thus already
one of Berlin’s biggest private investors.
Ralf Michels, CEO of HELIOS Kliniken GmbH, states: “HELIOS is already well
represented in Berlin’s health sector with two major hospitals. The 1,000-bed
facility in Berlin currently under construction – Europe’s largest privately
financed hospital project – will be our calling card for economic and top-
quality medical care and modern hospital management. The proximity of our new
corporate headquarters will enable us to pool key management potential at a
central location. By moving the Group’s head office to Berlin we also expect to
gain stronger links to the innovative medical developments and health sector
policy of the nation’s capital city as well as to our daily hospital business.
Berlin is the ideal location as our hospitals here are engaged in cutting-edge
medical treatment as well as scientific research.”
HELIOS Kliniken GmbH was founded in 1994 and has been based in Fulda since 1999.
With over EUR1.1 billion revenues, HELIOS is one of Germany’s biggest private
owners of acute-care hospitals. Over the last few years HELIOS has achieved
annual average revenue growth of 28 percent. The group currently owns 25
hospitals with a capacity of 9,600 beds, including four hospitals for maximum
care in Erfurt, Berlin, Wuppertal and Schwerin. A total of 19,000 employees deal
with 330,000 in-patient cases per year.
