About BODE

Quality products for preventing infection

Manufacturing more than 400 products at its Hamburg-Stellingen site in Germany, BODE Chemie is one of Europe’s leading suppliers in the fields of disinfection, cleaning, skin care and skin antisepsis. The high-performance hand disinfectants are only one highlight in BODE’s comprehensive range of products, which are used in more than 50 countries around the globe.


Since 2009, BODE has been a wholly owned subsidiary of PAUL HARTMANN AG in Heidenheim, Germany. With the acquisition, both companies have been able to expand their expertise in infection protection. By combining well-proven HARTMANN solutions such as sterile clothing, drapes or customised operating theatre sets with the extensively reviewed disinfectants from BODE, HARTMANN is your one-stop resource for solutions protecting against infection.


Aiming at offering our customers scientifically proven solutions, the HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER was established in 2011, combining science and practice in infection protection.
