SHP Steriltechnik AG acquires Astell Scientific Ltd. Two companies, a shared passion for sterilisation technology: with the acquisition of Astell Scientific Ltd, SHP Steriltechnik AG is strengthening its international position and opening up new prospects for the future of steam sterilisation.

Stronger together. More international together.

SHP Steriltechnik is delighted to welcome Astell Scientific to the group. This move brings together two companies that can look back on many years of experience in steam sterilisation and are committed to developing reliable, high-performance solutions for demanding applications.

Astell Scientific, based in the UK, has a history dating back to 1884. The company is renowned for its extensive experience in the development and manufacture of laboratory autoclaves and steam sterilisers. SHP Steriltechnik has established itself internationally with its LABOKLAV laboratory autoclaves and its commitment to combining high quality with cost-effectiveness.

This partnership creates a strong foundation for the further development of both companies.

Two strong brands. Combined expertise.

The acquisition brings together diverse experience, extensive market knowledge and technological expertise. Whilst SHP is particularly well known for its ‘Made in Germany’ laboratory autoclaves, Astell Scientific contributes more than 140 years of experience in sterilisation technology as well as a broad product portfolio for various laboratory and industrial applications.

This combination opens up new opportunities to further develop our shared expertise, complement our product portfolios effectively and provide even more comprehensive support to customers worldwide.

New prospects for customers worldwide

Our customers and partners are at the heart of this strategic development. The international focus of both companies opens up new opportunities to tap into markets, exchange experiences and drive forward solutions for a range of requirements in research, laboratories, industry and other areas of application.

Our shared aim is to leverage the strengths of both companies in a targeted manner
and to develop them further in the long term – with a clear focus on
quality, reliability, technical expertise and customer focus.

A strong alliance for the future

The acquisition of Astell Scientific is an important step in the further development of SHP Steriltechnik. It combines German and British engineering expertise in sterilisation technology and creates a strong foundation for shared growth.

For us, a strong alliance means more than just growth: it means pooling our experience, tapping into potential and jointly shaping new paths in sterilisation technology.

We look forward to our shared future with Astell Scientific and to continuing to offer our customers and partners worldwide high-performance solutions and reliable support.
