What IAB Reinraum-Produkte GmbH does

IAB Reinraum-Produkte GmbH is a German B2B specialist distributor and light manufacturer of cleanroom contamination-control products, headquartered in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, and operating under the Protect2Clean brand umbrella with twelve sub-brands (SimTec, SimSafe, SimSorb, SimTack, VIPERS, SimStat, SimStep, SimScribe, SimViz, SimLite, SimCut, Han-Series). Over its 40+ years of operation the company has assembled a catalog spanning fourteen product categories, including gamma-sterilized nitrile gloves, cleanroom coveralls with welded or sealed seams, pre-saturated and dry wipes, adhesive and permanent contamination-control mats, disinfectants, pre-preparation mop systems, ULPA-filtered cleanroom vacuums, ESD-safe gloves and workwear, autoclavable goggles, bacteriostatic cleanroom stationery, and cytostatic handling kits. Proprietary technology components include the SimStep permanent adhesive mat with antimicrobial coating (3-5 year lifespan, up to 99% contamination control after 3-6 foot contacts), SIMSTAT sandwich fiber construction for ESD gloves, and Clean-sealed seam sealing for protective garments.

The product portfolio is sold exclusively to businesses (pharmaceutical, medical technology and biotechnology; semiconductor, microelectronics and optics; aerospace, automotive; and high-tech industrial customers) and is validated for GMP A/B/C/D and ISO 14644-1 Class 3-9 cleanroom environments, with a broad stack of EN, ASTM, ISO, and CE certifications. IAB combines its proprietary private-label lines with curated resale of major third-party brands (3M, Ansell, DuPont Tyvek, Kimberly-Clark Kimtech, Berkshire, Contec, GVS). The company is independently owned, with Karoline Matzi as sole named Managing Director, holds no external investors, and has no disclosed parent or subsidiary structure. Distribution is concentrated in the DACH region, with website storefronts in five languages pointing to broader European intent.

The revenue model is B2B hardware and consumables sales via an own e-commerce platform (Shopware) with account-based pricing (prices hidden behind login), SAP OCI Punchout integration for enterprise procurement systems, and direct sales consultation by phone. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 system-certified, and no public revenue, funding, or headcount growth figures are disclosed.
