History
The origins of PAUL HARTMANN AG reach back to 1818, when Ludwig von Hartmann established a textile business in Heidenheim. The business’s early industrial background is part of the company’s history; over time, its activities shifted toward products for health and care. The Hartmann name subsequently became associated with medical supplies and healthcare products, and the company developed into an international manufacturer and supplier. In its modern form, the business is organized as PAUL HARTMANN AG and operates as the central company of the HARTMANN Group. Its portfolio is organized around healthcare needs that include wound care, incontinence management and infection management, with additional products for surgery and clinical care. The product families address use in healthcare institutions, professional care and home-care situations. MoliCare is associated with continence care, while Sterillium is associated with hand disinfection; Hartmann-branded products also include wound-care supplies. The group expanded beyond its German base and now maintains country and regional web presences for markets across multiple continents. The official country-selection page identifies locations and language options across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. It also directs customers with product problems or complaints to the company for support. This localized structure reflects an international business serving different healthcare markets while retaining its German corporate base in Heidenheim an der Brenz. PAUL HARTMANN AG is publicly traded in Germany. The company continues to operate as a healthcare-products business, with its corporate and product identity centered on practical supplies and solutions for medical and care settings. Its history therefore spans a transition from a nineteenth-century textile enterprise to a present-day international healthcare manufacturer.
