Servona annually supervises more than 300,000 provisions in the home-care area and is a provider of medical devices. The fulfillment of the necessary quality and ISO standards for this is of primary importance. The aspiration formulated by management here is that Servona orient itself on pharmaceutical standards and be one of the leading groups in home care and medical products.

A central focus is currently on the implementation of a digitization strategy internally, as well as for external customers and business partners. In our ongoing business, we optimize our business operations within the framework of profit-improvement programs (PIP), process-optimization programs (POP), as well as a sales-force excellence programs (SFE).
R for ReinventIn developed markets, it is crucial to adapt to the challenges of the future. With this in mind, we have formulated a clear commitment to provide the best possible advice and care. That is why we consistently invest in research and product development We also work actively on the development of new care concepts in order to best serve the needs of our patients and their relatives.
E for EnhanceAlongside organic growth, in the past few years Servona participated actively in the consolidation of the German home-care market. In addition to Nicolei Vitalressort, the companies Zieger and Hoffrichter joined the Servona group of companies.
