Infection Prevention
Fighting diseases and contamination before they emerge.
Microorganisms are essential to life - a natural part of our environment. They exist naturally in our environment without being visible. Mankind has harnessed them for our benefit, for example, in the production of foodstuffs. But other microorganisms known as germs may be harmful, causing infections and contamination.
Today, more than ever, germs cross borders. Their existence is dangerous, but not as dangerous as underestimating their threat to people and material. Counter-measures deal more with treating the symptoms rather than fighting the causes. Precautions are therefore key. Preventing contamination and infections is far easier than combating them. For this, we offer innovative technologies, highly effective products and expert support services, and in doing so, we rely on our long tradition of innovation.
