The company

Founded 140 years ago as a repair workshop for the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital, Bauer und Häselbarth - Chirurg GmbH is now a leading producer of surgical instruments. With approximately 50 employees at two locations in Germany, we exclusively source high-quality materials and cover almost all manufacturing processes in-house. All products purchased are products of self-controlled state-of-the-art manufacturing. Our mission is to offer all customers the best possible service and quality.

Competence

Competence

Our great strength is the high vertical range of manufacture, which covers almost all necessary process steps from machining, stamping and forming, joining to final cleaning and labeling in-house. On the other hand, our standard program mainly comprises niche products which we produce and offer "Made in Germany". In addition to established products, our team is always open to new inquiries and projects. For further process steps such as different coatings, electropolishing or hardening, we cooperate with long-standing, competent partners, which results into a short reaction time and high flexibility according to the needs of our customers.
