Our greatest asset is our passion for innovation

Innovation, Research & Development

At the core of our company is a deep commitment to innovation—brought to life through the expertise of our people. Our approach to research and development (R&D) is driven by a global network of talent, united by a shared purpose: commitment to innovation and high-quality product solutions.

By fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, we empower our teams to advance to continuously deliver real value to our customers.

More than 100 years of R&D and innovation are in our DNA

Innovation has long been a defining part of our heritage. Over decades, our research and development efforts have been shaped by dedicated leaders and experts who advanced product performance, safety, and quality across our portfolio.

Among those contributors, Dr. Raimund Schaller played a significant role in driving product development and continuous improvement over the course of his tenure. His work—and that of the broader R&D organization—helped establish a strong foundation of innovation, including advancements such as hypoallergenic polyisoprene surgical gloves and technologies like sempermed syntegra UV.

Today, we continue to build on this legacy, guided by the same commitment to scientific rigor, product excellence, and meaningful innovation that supports our customers and strengthens our position in the global market.

Global network & partnership with universities and research institutes

Over 100 years of experience in glove production has allowed us to lay the groundworks for continuous improvement and innovation. Our product development success and focus stem not only from the collaboration of our R&D hubs in Austria and Malaysia, but also from partnering with several institutes. Between our two hubs, intensive know-how and resource-sharing takes place, and thus nurtures sempermed’s innovations. Additionally, we work with universities and research institutes from all over the world to raise the standard of our manufacturing and our products.

Our innovation activities are at the centre of our R&D efforts. However, our continuous improvements are supported by the use of the latest technology and test procedures, thereby constantly evaluating the entire production cycle. This is complimented with ongoing risk analysis at all stages of production; starting with biological analysis of the raw materials up to the finished products. All these measures ensure that sempermed delivers the best possible product quality for its customers.

At the same time, it is extremely important for us that the technological processes used are environmentally friendly. Read more about this topic in our sustainability section.

Our innovative products – skin and environmentally friendly
One of our main goals in R&D is to minimise the impact of the usage of our gloves for the end users’ skin. We therefore developed a special finishing process with additional washing. This process enables us to reduce the skin-irritating substances and protein content in natural latex.

For our surgical gloves, we developed QuickDon™. A patented synthetic inner coating that makes donning of gloves easier without friction resistance. Get to know some of our QuickDon™ products below.
