It all began in 1831, when David Schnell founded a soap factory in Munich. Seven generations later, we stand—now more than ever—for resource-efficient hygiene and the highest quality at our production sites in Germany. But it’s about more than just products: We live by our values, take responsibility, and act in harmony with people and the environment.
For us, a culture of mutual respect is the foundation for developing branded products that set new standards. We are a family. We work together as one and share a clear vision: to become the benchmark for sustainable hygiene in Europe.
DR. SCHNELL by the Numbers.
Since 1831, we’ve been revolutionizing cleaning—from Munich to the rest of the world. What began as a soap factory is now a group of companies operating throughout Europe, with production facilities in Germany, training centers at multiple locations, and our own sales company in Switzerland. Short supply chains, close partnerships, and the highest “Made in Germany” quality connect all our locations—for customers who expect more.

We transform processes.
For us, responsibility means taking a proactive approach rather than simply reacting. That’s why we don’t just develop increasingly innovative products—we start much earlier, with the ingredients and their origins. We challenge existing structures, transform supply chains, and optimize processes. Not out of a sense of duty or for the sake of our image, but out of conviction.
This is how we create solutions that conserve our shared resources and have a long-term impact. For a clean future and a planet worth living on.
Solutions for Your Industry.
We are here for you personally!
