What BANDELIN does

BANDELIN electronic GmbH & Co. KG is a third-generation, family-owned German manufacturer of ultrasonic cleaning and processing equipment, headquartered and producing at a single vertically integrated site in Berlin since 1955. The company designs, develops, and manufactures ultrasonic baths (SONOREX compact lines, SONOREX TECHNIK industrial systems, SONOREX CNp industrial cleaning systems), ultrasonic homogenizers for laboratory sample preparation (SONOPULS HD 4000 and HD 5000), medical-grade reprocessing devices (TRISON for robotic surgical instruments, plus Sonomic, Sonorex ZE, and Sonoboard), specialised laboratory devices (BactoSonic, Sonoshake, Sonocool, LABOCOOL, PR 140 DH pipette cleaner), industrial ultrasonic components (transducers, generators, reactors, peripherals), and a line of proprietary cleaning and disinfection preparations (Tickopur, Stammopur). The underlying technology relies on high-frequency sound waves generating cavitation in liquids, with stainless-steel tanks engineered for uniform sound propagation and long service life.

The company's commercial model is hardware-led: products are sold directly through its e-commerce webshop (bandelin.com) and through a dealer network, with pricing positioned in a high-quality, high-price segment. BANDELIN holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016 certifications, which underpin its medical-device qualification and its ability to supply validated reprocessing workflows to hospitals and clinics. The customer base spans four primary verticals — medical/healthcare, dental, laboratory/research, and industry/manufacturing — with secondary reach into specialised trades such as opticians and jewelers. Marketing is delivered through European industry trade shows (analytica, AMB, DGSV, LabCon, LLG), a multilingual website footprint covering German, English, Danish, Dutch, French, Spanish, and Italian, and a social media presence on LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. No external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity are recorded; ownership and direction remain entirely within the Bandelin family.
