OPHARDT Hygiene. It's a family affair.
Hermann Ophardt laid the foundation for the company in his garage in 1962. There he developed the first ingo-man® hygiene dispenser to support nursing staff and doctors in hygienic hand disinfection. Today, the dispenser is the most popular dispenser in German hospitals and is known worldwide.
According to the World Health Organisation, 80 percent of all infectious diseases are transmitted through the hands. This highlights how important careful and consistent hand hygiene is. Our corporate mission Break the Chain of Infection emphasizes the importance of our work and is an integral part of everything we do.
The Federal Ministry of Research and Education has recognised OPHARDT Hygiene for its innovative expertise.
This prestigious award solidifies OPHARDT Hygiene as a top brand in Germany that sets industry-wide standards for dispenser systems.
We not only design our products ourselves, but also produce them at our own plants. Uniquely, our engineers often work in our plants, not thousands of miles away.
We delight in coming up with custom solutions tailored to our customer’s needs. OPHARDT is valued throughout the industry as a reliable partner that brings a lot of expertise to the table.
As part of a comprehensive certification, we have been awarded the highest rating as a family-friendly employer by DIQP.
