Miltenyi Biotec laboratory solutions

Miltenyi Biotec is a global provider of products and services that advance biomedical research and cellular therapy. Founded in 1989 by Stefan Miltenyi, the company is best known for its MACS (Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting) technology, which has become a gold standard in scientific laboratories for separating specific cell types from complex mixtures.

Headquartered in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany, the company maintains a strong commitment to local manufacturing while expanding its footprint globally to meet the demands of the international research community. As a private, family-owned enterprise, Miltenyi Biotec operates independently of large pharmaceutical conglomerates, allowing it to focus heavily on long-term R&D in fields like immunology, oncology, and stem cell research.

With over 4,500 employees worldwide, the company remains the ultimate owner of its brand and technology. It continues to be a pioneer in clinical-grade cell processing, particularly through its CliniMACS Prodigy platform, which simplifies the manufacturing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) like CAR T-cells.
