More than 175 Years of Experience. A Clear Vision for the Future.
Since 1851, Erbe has been developing medical technology with a clear purpose: innovation should never be an end in itself. Instead, it should empower healthcare professionals to provide better patient care while making clinical workflows more efficient and sustainable.
What began as a family-owned workshop has evolved into a globally operating medical technology company that continues to shape the development of modern surgical and endoscopic systems.
As Erbe celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2026, the focus extends beyond looking back on its rich history. More importantly, it is about looking ahead. Healthcare systems around the world are facing growing challenges, including increasing patient numbers, rising cost pressures, and shortages of qualified medical professionals. Erbe addresses these challenges by developing technologies that improve procedural precision, simplify clinical workflows, and support healthcare teams in their daily work.
Today, Erbe employs more than 2,200 people worldwide. The company serves customers in 110 international markets and operates 20 sales and service organizations as well as five manufacturing sites around the world.
This global presence enables Erbe to work closely with customers, healthcare professionals and partners while integrating international expertise into the development of new technologies and solutions.
