What HP Medizintechnik does

HP Medizintechnik GmbH, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Oberschleißheim, Germany, is a privately held specialist manufacturer of mobile Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD / Aufbereitungseinheiten für Medizinprodukte, AEMP) systems for medical device reprocessing. The company's core technology is a modular, self-sufficient sterilisation platform deployable in container, tent, or interim-rental configurations, integrating steam sterilisers (notably the VARIOKLAV 65 TC, compliant with DIN EN 285), thermal washer-disinfectors, 2-stage reverse osmosis water treatment, and pneumatically actuated valve systems. Each unit requires only a single drinking water inlet and a single wastewater outlet while generating deionised water, medical compressed air, sterile steam, and air conditioning on-site. The product is engineered for standard-compliant medical device reprocessing in austere environments — cold and warm climatic zones, rapid deployment settings, and temporary hospital infrastructure.

The company's primary customers are the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr) and international military organisations, with documented deployments in Afghanistan (Kabul, Kunduz), Kosovo (Prizren), and Mali, alongside humanitarian NGOs and hospitals. The hospital channel is served through a rental/interim-solutions model used during central sterile supply department renovations (8–19 month engagements documented). Revenue is generated via one-time capital sales of custom-configured mobile CSSDs, multi-year rental contracts for interim hospital capacity, professional services for CSSD operator and service technician training (per MPBetreibV), and regulatory affairs consulting delivered through subsidiary HP Med Consulting GmbH (ISO 13485, EU MDR 2017/745, IEC 62304 support for medical device SMEs). The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, and AQAP 2110 (NATO military) certifications valid through 2028, operates as a direct enterprise field-sales organisation with no reseller channel, and is led by founder Dr.-Ing. Helmut Herz and co-managing director Sandro Schmalzl.

Core offering

HP Medizintechnik GmbH develops, manufactures, and distributes mobile Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD/AEMP) systems in container and tent configurations, VARIOKLAV large steam sterilisers, and stainless steel mobile components for medical device reprocessing. The company primarily serves military organisations (German Armed Forces / Bundeswehr), NGOs, and hospitals needing standard-compliant sterilisation in mobile, field, or temporary healthcare environments, and additionally provides CSSD training services and, through HP Med Consulting GmbH, regulatory affairs consulting for medical device manufacturers.

Product overview

HP Medizintechnik GmbH offers a modular portfolio of mobile Central Sterile Supply Department (CSSD/AEMP) systems for medical device reprocessing, consisting of three core product lines: the modular container-based system (AEMP Modular), tent-based highly mobile system (AEMP LSE), and interim rental solutions. The company also manufactures and distributes VARIOKLAV steam sterilisers (including the VARIOKLAV 65 TC), supplies modular stainless steel components for the systems, provides comprehensive training services, and operates HP Med Consulting as a regulatory affairs consulting arm. All products are designed for flexible and mobile deployment in military, NGO, and hospital environments.

Direct peers

• Belimed: Swiss manufacturer of CSSD equipment including steam sterilisers, washer-disinfectors, and reprocessing solutions for hospitals and life sciences. Belimed is the closest direct competitor in technology terms (steam sterilisation, EN 285-class equipment), though it does not currently offer a mobile/field-deployable CSSD equivalent to HP Medizintechnik's core product.
• Tuttnauer: Israeli manufacturer of autoclaves, steam sterilisers, and washer-disinfectors for medical, dental, and laboratory markets. Tuttnauer competes directly with the VARIOKLAV 65 TC product line and shares the EN 285 large-steriliser category, though without the mobile/field-deployable chassis that is HP Medizintechnik's distinguishing feature.
• AT-OS: Italian manufacturer of large-capacity steam sterilisers and washer-disinfectors for hospital CSSDs and industrial applications. AT-OS competes in the same EN 285 large-steriliser category as the VARIOKLAV 65 TC and serves similar hospital customers, but lacks the mobile/field-deployable chassis that distinguishes HP Medizintechnik.
• Qserve Group: Dutch/German regulatory affairs consulting firm supporting medical device manufacturers with EU MDR, FDA, ISO 13485, and clinical evaluation work. Qserve is the most direct peer for HP Med Consulting's regulatory services offering and competes for the same medical-device SME client base.
• Fedegari Group: Italian manufacturer of sterilisation equipment including steam sterilisers, autoclaves, and cleanroom solutions for pharmaceutical, hospital, and laboratory markets. Fedegari competes directly with HP Medizintechnik's VARIOKLAV product family on technology and standards compliance, though it focuses on stationary industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
• Steelco Group: Italian manufacturer of sterilisers, washer-disinfectors, and integrated CSSD solutions for hospitals, laboratories, and pharmaceutical customers. Steelco is a direct peer in the steam-steriliser and EN 285 categories and shares the European mid-market positioning, though it does not currently offer the mobile field-hospital CSSD configuration.
• Matachana: Spanish manufacturer of sterilisation and disinfection equipment for hospitals, laboratories, and the pharmaceutical industry. Matachana produces steam sterilisers, low-temperature sterilisation systems, and washer-disinfectors under EN 285 — making it a direct competitor for the VARIOKLAV-class hardware, though its portfolio centres on stationary rather than mobile deployments.

Broad incumbents

• STERIS: US-listed global provider of sterilisation and infection-prevention products and services, including steam sterilisers, washer-disinfectors, and contract sterilisation. STERIS competes across most segments HP Medizintechnik operates in, though its scale is several orders of magnitude larger and its offering tilts toward stationary hospital and industrial sterilisation.
• Getinge: Swedish global leader in sterile reprocessing, operating a broad CSSD equipment portfolio (washer-disinfectors, steam sterilisers) for hospitals. While HP Medizintechnik focuses exclusively on mobile/field-deployable CSSD, Getinge is the dominant stationary incumbent they would compete against in any hybrid or permanent-CSSD opportunity and the most likely source of competitive pressure if Getinge expands into mobile.
• Miele Professional: German division of Miele producing commercial laundry, dishwashing, and thermal disinfection equipment, including washer-disinfectors used in CSSD workflows. Miele Professional competes with HP Medizintechnik in thermal disinfection and reprocessing equipment for healthcare settings, but operates at significantly larger scale across broader commercial categories.
