Germany's leading customer service organisation in sterile processing
Planegg/Gersthofen, 16. January 2006. MMM Group (MMM) and BHT Hygienetechnik
(BHT) have agreed on a far-reaching cooperation in global sales and German customer
service. The objective of this cooperation is the extension and intensification of national and international
activities, mainly in central sterilization supply and
laboratories.
The joint customer service organisation in Germany resulting from this cooperation will be the largest in Germany in the field of sterile supply and corresponds to the highest demands in terms of
quality, availability and costs. The common organisation under the leadership of MMM offers a comprehensive range of
services, including validation of every step involved in sterile
processing. The joint organisation will take up its tasks as from 1. February 2006. In
addition, BHT will continue to offer their customer service for endoscope washer-disinfectors
(AER).
This cooperation will accelerate the growth of the experts in sterilization (MMM) and washing and disinfecting
(BHT) in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The joint presence and operation in key markets will sustainably strengthen the competitiveness of both companies in the field of infection control and promote their leading position in Europe.
With this cooperation, MMM will preferably and partly exclusively distribute innovative washer-disinfectors made by
BHT. This will be done in close coordination of both
partners, from planning up to the putting into service and customer
service.
To intensify the cooperation in this way is the logical continuation of the longstanding experience of both companies gained through major projects commonly realized in Germany,
Austria, Great Britain, Poland or Asia.
