Our values as a family business

A successful and trustworthy partner for 30 years

The FAHL company - a trustworthy partner for patients and their carers, for clinicians in hospitals and in care facilities and for the specialist trade. To this day, the company's focus is on expansion. What started as a small office in 1992 has, over the past 30 years, established itself as an international role model and medical aid specialist in the fields of tracheostomy, laryngectomy and ventilation. The foundation of this success is based on high quality product, first class service and highly qualified and dedicated employees and partners.
 
The worldwide supply of around 4,000 medical devices is organised centrally from Cologne. The branch office was established in Berlin in 2002, with regional offices opened in Austria (2003) and Switzerland (2019). Starting with only a small number of employees when the company was founded, a total of more than 250 employees worldwide are now doing their best every day to provide seamless all-round care. Over the past three decades FAHL has provided needs-based care to over 150,000 patients in more than 80 countries.

Then as today, customers appreciate both the way we treat them as equals and the reliability of our service. We do our best to keep the FAHL promise and be a reliable partner, supporting you with aids which are suitable for everyday use.

To continue to meet our own high standards, far-reaching expansions both in the product portfolio as well as product variations are planned. Building on our decades of experience, the FAHL company exchange professional expertise with patients and their clinicians to aid this product development and refinement.

Sales and distribution

FAHL provide a product portfolio that upholds our promise, we care for all age groups of patients, clinics and the specialised trade. Our products are medical aids designed to support patient rehabilitation and to enable the individual to cope with the activities of daily living. 

FAHL offer a starter set that provides the basic postoperative care of tracheostomised and laryngectomised patients, together with specialist ENT aids designed to support rehabilitation later in the patient journey. Individual requirements can be catered for, with custom-made versions of specific products manufactured in the company's own workshop. Special sizes of tracheostomy tubes or tracheostoma protection products are also available by arrangement.

Our product portfolio at a glance: 

Children, as a result of their physical development, have frequently changing needs; special products, adapted to meet the anatomical and physiological requirements of the child, round off FAHL’s product portfolio.


Development and manufacturing

As a manufacturer, we can quickly accommodate the suggestions and wishes of our customers in the development of new products and in the improvement of existing products. Our own experience over the last 30 years is also beneficial to the development and manufacturing process.

Innovation and improvement

Close collaboration with the patient and clinical community has enabled FAHL to create patient-oriented, needs-based products that support rehabilitation. An example of this is the LARYVOX® EXTRA HME: four different densities of Heat and Moisture Exchange (HME) filter that provide variations in breathing resistance to suit the activity being undertaken by the individual laryngectomee. All four LARYVOX® EXTRA HME cassettes ensure the necessary heating, humidification and filtering of respiratory air, required to replace the lost upper respiratory function. The expertise in FAHL’s product development, evident in the LARYVOX® EXTRA HME range is reflected in the design and manufacture of all Fahl products. More than 100 granted patents, as well as registered designs/utility models, guarantee products that stand out in terms of function, form, design and colour. Exciting developments are pending too - numerous applications have been filed with the German Patent and Trade Mark Office for future product innovations

Our price-performance offer speaks for itself

We base ourselves on the current market situation so that our range of products and the accompanying product documentation always reflect the latest trends. Manufacturing products ourselves also enables us to offer prices and services that are attractive for customers, without sacrificing quality. In addition, a sophisticated warehousing concept ensures that the products that we offer are also immediately available, enabling orders to be processed without delay and the goods to be delivered.

Individual products and adaptations

If special adaptations are required for a particular anatomy or indication-specific need, the products can be individually adapted to the customer's needs. This is a service that is professionally implemented directly at the FAHL company in its own workshop. This enormously shortens delivery times due to individual product changes, so that those affected can continue to cope with their changed everyday situation.
