Company profile

Micro-organisms are not only extremely small, but are also often very dangerous. Many of them attack the health of human beings and threaten their lives. One challenge that our company has been rising to for more than a century. Our mission: we combat disease and contamination before they emerge. Germs know no bounds. This has held true since time immemorial and, in our present globalised world, is of steadily growing importance. However, the risks that germs pose to humans and materials are regularly underestimated. In order to combat these risks effectively, optimum hygiene conditions are among the major requirements for success. schülke has set itself the task of closing this hygiene gap: within the context of a holistic approach. Disinfectants, antiseptics, preservatives, biocides, medical skin care products, active ingredients for deodorants and system cleaners form the main focus of the range of products we develop and produce. Together with expert advice, specific training and first-class service, our customers can avail themselves of comprehensive, individual hygiene solutions. Our claim is both guideline and yardstick. The quality of a whole hygiene chain is equal only to that of each link within that chain. That is why we are uncompromising in our holistic approach. In this way, we create more than economic success: sustained value for the environment and society.

schülke is driving its transformation from a tradition-steeped chemical enterprise to a modern partner for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Since 1996, we have been a 100 % subsidiary of the Air Liquide Group, world leader in gases, technologies and services for industry and health. With 15 international subsidiaries and a presence in 80 countries, we generate an annual turnover of roughly 200 million Euro. Our headquarters in Norderstedt near Hamburg are the focal point of all our activities. Here, all of our central divisions work hand in hand: from Research and Development, Management, Production and Marketing, to Sales and Logistics. As one of the market leaders in infection control, we provide major impetus from here: for our continuous global growth – and for successful hygiene solutions for our customers.

The principle expectations that we, as a leading international company in our specialist fields have of our actions and what we do, are united in our values and guidelines:
