What Streifeneder Unternehmensgruppe does

Streifeneder Unternehmensgruppe is a family-owned German orthopaedics and rehabilitation group founded in 1928 and headquartered in Emmering, with 700+ employees. It operates two principal divisions: F. G. Streifeneder KG runs a chain of 17+ Sanitätshäuser (medical supply retail stores) across Munich and southern Bavaria selling orthopaedic insoles, custom orthopaedic footwear, compression therapy, orthoses, prostheses, bandages, home care equipment, and mobility aids directly to patients, with health insurance reimbursement handling and digital appointment booking via Calendly. Streifeneder ortho.production GmbH manufactures and distributes prosthetic and orthotic components, raw materials (prepreg composites, silicones, thermoplastics), workshop equipment, and service manufacturing to professional orthopaedic workshops and clinics nationally and internationally, supported by the ortho.production Academy training programme.

The group's technology stack combines traditional craftsmanship with digital measurement (3D scanning, CAD), additive manufacturing for cranial helmets, prepreg carbon/aramid fibre layups for lightweight prosthetics, and proprietary product lines including silicone liners (ClearSil, DuoSil, PrimoSil, etc.) and the Streifylen thermoplastic sheet invented in 1968. Revenue is generated through B2C retail transactions (often insurance-reimbursed), B2B catalogue sales and quotations to professionals, and professional services via clinic workshops embedded in major Munich hospitals. The group also operates HerzensTier Tierorthopädie for veterinary orthopaedics and holds ISO 13485 certification with EU MDR compliance. It has remained family-controlled across nearly 100 years with no disclosed external funding or acquisitions.
