desderman Hand Disinfectant

Desderman is a professional-grade alcoholic rub-in preparation developed for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection. It is a cornerstone product of Schülke & Mayr, a company with over 130 years of history in infection prevention and hygiene. Originally pioneered in Germany, the brand is widely used in hospitals, medical practices, and labs across Europe due to its fully virucidal efficacy against a broad spectrum of pathogens including Norovirus and Poliovirus.

The product is primarily manufactured in Norderstedt, Germany, using 100% green electricity and renewable raw materials, reflecting an increasing focus on sustainable production. Historically part of the Air Liquide group, the Schülke brand was acquired by private equity firm EQT in 2020 and subsequently sold to a consortium led by Athos Service GmbH and Bitburger Holding in 2023. These investors focus on long-term healthcare growth, ensuring Desderman remains a leading name in clinical hygiene.
