schülke octenisept wound disinfection spray

Octenisept is a leading antiseptic produced by Schülke & Mayr GmbH. Founded in 1889 in Hamburg, Germany, Schülke has a long history of developing infection prevention and hygiene products. Octenisept was launched as a modern, painless wound disinfectant and has since become a staple in both clinical and home first aid kits.

Historically, the company was a subsidiary of Air Liquide for many years. However, in 2020, it was acquired by the Swedish investment firm EQT. Following EQT's period of ownership, the company was sold again. As of 2024 and looking forward, the ultimate ownership lies with a consortium led by the global investment firm Athos and the Bitburger Holding, maintaining its operational headquarters in Norderstedt, Germany. The product continues to be manufactured primarily in Germany to ensure high pharmaceutical standards.
