Nipro is reigniting a proud Swedish legacy with the opening of a new MIC development center for dialysis technologies in Malmö, Sweden, under its Medical Instrument Center (MIC) division.
MIC Europe was established in Belgium in 2019 as Nipro’s first development center for dialysis hardware outside of Japan. Six years later, Nipro is celebrating the expansion of its R&D activities in Sweden, the home of pioneering manufacturer Gambro and its founder Nils Alwall, whose artificial kidney machines made life-saving dialysis treatments practical and commercially viable for the first time. Nipro honors and builds upon this rich legacy of Gambro in its decision to locate its new center in Sweden.
Stepping in to nurture the talent and knowledge of the region and revitalize this historic industry hub, Nipro is onboarding a local team of experienced engineers to accelerate the development of state-of-the-art dialysis technologies. In this way, Nipro puts into practice its core philosophy of Sanpo Yoshi - the ‘triple win’ - a belief that long-term decisions should harmonize the best interests of the company, its customers, and the community.
Our goal is to create solutions that serve our company, our clients, and the community harmoniously. This R&D Center will not simply be a place of science and technology, it will be a bridge that connects creativity and precision, tradition and progress. Across our centers of excellence, from Sweden to Belgium and back to Japan, we must stand side by side as one team, sharing our expertise, our perspectives, and our unwavering commitment to innovation.
Today is a great day for Nipro, as we consider this opening as a key milestone for our R&D activities. The expertise of the new colleagues joining MIC here will allow Nipro to further master our dialysis technology. This is with the aim to improve the health of the patients relying on Nipro for their treatments. with the aim to allow our patients to Live Longer. Live Better.
With the establishment of MIC in Malmö, we build on a strong foundation of Swedish expertise in dialysis technology while shaping the future of renal care. By expanding our global development network, we foster collaboration across regions, ensuring that new ideas and engineering excellence translate into meaningful advancements for patients worldwide.
