For over 125 years, our philosophy has been centred on hygiene & infection prevention.  Well established throughout the Northern Hemisphere, schülke, a leading chemical and pharmaceutical company aims to protect people and materials against infections and contamination. Our mission is to fight disease and contamination before they emerge.

Our products protect people and materials against contamination and risks of disease transmission throughout the entire infection prevention process.

Good hygiene conditions provide the best foundation for human health and a clean environment. Hand hygiene is one of the most important preventative activities for protection against the risks of disease transmission by staff, patients and visitors throughout hospitals and clinics while also protecting materials and facilities against contamination. Our extensive range of high performance products for hand disinfection including MICROSHIELD®, with over 25 years of history in Australia, and the newly introduced SENSIVA® range of perfume and colour free skin care meet the highest quality standards in terms of efficacy, skin protection and tolerability.
