Made in Germany. Made for You. So that you can rely on our products without restriction, we develop, produce and test them in Berlin far beyond industry standards. In this way, we guarantee that the safest and most reliable solutions are used in your practice or clinic.
To achieve this, we only use components of the highest quality that we have audited in an uncompromising manufacturing process. After assembly, each device is subjected to a three-day endurance and stress test including factory testing in Berlin. Deviations or irregularities are documented by our innovative IT system immediately and the devices are subjected to a further full test.
Of course these detailed tests with various different loads take a lot of time and energy, but the high level of satisfaction among customers is our most significant motivation and the basis for our innovative leadership around the world.
The pioneering spirit of our success: With passion, innovative strength and attention to detail, more than 160 excellently educated engineers ensure that complicated things become uncomplicated.
MELAG products should inspire, be fun and, last but not least, advance your infection control. We therefore invested around 30 % of our turnover in the research and development of new, innovative device concepts.
With these pioneering technologies, we have been revolutionising the instrument reprocessing workflow in over 700,000 practices and clinics worldwide for many decades.
Traditional values, forward-looking solutions: As a family business, we understand that trust and continuity are the cornerstones of successful partnerships. It is precisely these values that characterize our daily activities and are reflected in our reliable solutions for instrument reprocessing. The Gebauer family has been running the company since it was founded in 1951, and is now in its third generation - with the brothers Sebastian Gebauer and Dr. Niklas Gebauer now in charge .
Our many years of experience and family ties enable us to respond flexibly to the individual needs of medical and dental practices - just as is the case in many of your family businesses. With us, you won't find anonymous investors in the background, but a dedicated team with a passion for quality.
Thanks to the continuity of our family business across generations, you as a customer benefit from stable partnerships and a deep understanding of the requirements of your practice. We know that you also deliver top performance every day, which is why we do everything we can to support you with innovative products and first-class service.
As a family-run company, we take responsibility for future generations. With our sustainability strategy Mission Possible, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to make your instrument decontamination process even more environmentally conscious.
For the future of our blue planet, the three P's - products, processes and production - are at the heart of everything we do:
Products - Sustainability through innovation: Thanks to forward-looking technologies, durable quality and environmentally friendly packaging materials, we offer the cleanest solution - for your budget and the environment!
Processes - Save paper, protect the environment: With paperless user documentation
and digital signatures, we save 7 tonnes of paper, 105 kg of toner ink and 50 kg of plastic waste from toner cartridges per year.
Production - Sustainability right from the start: We already rely on resource-saving approaches in research, development and production. In addition to the use of water recooling systems, electric forklifts and LED lighting, we will raise the bar for sustainable production even higher in the future with solar modules on our roofs. We already obtain 100% of our green electricity from renewable sources.
Our commitment in these areas was recognised for the first time in 2022 by the German Institute for Sustainability & Economics with the seal of approval for assured sustainability in accordance with procedural regulation D-22/400879 and following ISO 26000.
For your safety: Everything from one source! Our washer-disinfectors, sealing devices, autoclaves and software solutions turn your dreams of optimized workflows into reality. The perfect interplay of MELAG System Solutions allow you to achieve greater time and
cost-savings in instrument reprocessing.
Personal: One central contact to answer all your instrument reprocessing questions

With MELAtherm 20, you are entering a new dimension of cleaning performance and capacity.
Thanks to the powerful AquaBoost Technology and a newly developed three-arm rinse system, MELAtherm 20 delivers up to 63% better cleaning results compared to MELAtherm 10 Evolution (based on the ÖGSV guideline 3a).
But MELAtherm 20 doesn’t just outperform in cleaning results, the new washer-disinfector also plays in the big league of capacity: With more than 90 compatible baskets, adapters, and a smartly configurable XXL chamber design, MELAtherm 20 grows with your daily demands and enables the efficient reprocessing of instruments for up to 90 patients per cycle.
Whether rigid or hollow-body instruments – efficiency is key: The integrated, easily removable module with two injector rails offers 22 dedicated connections for the safe and reliable reprocessing of hollow instruments.

The large Smart-Touch Display on the device door makes operation as simple as using a smartphone – crisp, bright, and perfectly aligned with the MELAG system solution. From program selection to seamless documentation via USB or network: Everything is magically simple – simply magical.
And thanks to the integrated user authentication and batch approval with ProControl, you can finally say goodbye to paperwork – and embrace fully digital documentation and approval processes. And what makes it truly a big difference: No additional software. No license fees. No compromises.
Everything comes standard – fully integrated into MELAtherm 20 at no extra cost.

More variety. More you. With no fewer than four appliance variants, MELAtherm 20 can be precisely customised to your individual practice requirements: Choose between the activeDRY drying system for active internal and external drying or passiveDRY with automatic door opening and steam condensation - each available with 230 V or 400 V.
