About Sterillium
Sterillium is the hand disinfectant at the centre of HARTMANN's infection management segment, which turned over €537.6 million in 2025. It is a professional antiseptic for hospitals, surgeries, pharmacies and care homes rather than a consumer hand gel, and the range has been extended into formats such as Sterillium 2in1 Wipes. HARTMANN notes that it has repeatedly been named a Marke des Jahrhunderts — a brand of the century — in Germany.
