KREIENBAUM Neoscience

What KREIENBAUM Neoscience does

KREIENBAUM Neoscience GmbH is a family-owned German specialty distributor founded around 1997 and headquartered in Langenfeld, Germany. The company operates as the exclusive German representative of multiple international manufacturers across two divisions: medical technology and life science. The medical technology division distributes devices and consumables for neonatology, pediatrics, adult medicine and homecare — including phototherapy lamps, surgical smoke evacuators, vein finders, suction catheters, ECG electrodes, patient warming systems, positioning aids, and feeding equipment. The life science division distributes laboratory and bioprocess equipment, most notably the Solaris Biotech fermenter and bioreactor portfolio (mini-fermenters through 200L pilot systems), urine analyzers, centrifuges, shakers and incubators serving biotechnology, laboratory medicine, and food/waste technology applications.

The business model is a multi-vendor B2B distribution model with quote-based pricing, 30-day payment terms after delivery, and no public revenue disclosure. The company sells direct to hospitals, NICUs, perinatal centers, laboratories and homecare providers primarily in Germany, supported by ISO 13485 and TÜV certifications for medical device distribution. The go-to-market is consultative sales-led, leveraging staff with professional medical backgrounds for expert product selection support, supplemented by participation in specialized clinical symposia (e.g., Frühgeborenensymposium Köln, BFG Ulm) and a product-focused company website with downloadable catalogs and technical documentation. Leadership consists of two Managing Directors (Geschäftsführer), Johannes-Falco Kreienbaum and Stephan Berlemann, with no disclosed external institutional investors or parent company.
