Medical device sterilization and cleaning systems for healthcare and pharma
Steelco Group manufactures cleaning and sterilization equipment for hospitals, pharmaceutical production, and research labs across 100+ countries. The tech stack reflects a capital-equipment manufacturer: CAD (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Solid Edge), industrial automation (Rockwell, B&R, Siemens), and PLCs driving washers and sterilizers. Active projects show a shift toward software—custom PLC code, device data processing, and procurement automation—signaling a move to embed digital capabilities into traditionally mechanical equipment.
Steelco Group, founded in 2001 and acquired by the Miele Group in 2017, is a leading manufacturer of automated cleaning and sterilization systems. The product line spans medical-device reprocessors (for surgical and endoscopic instruments), laboratory and pharmaceutical washers (cGMP-compliant), animal-room sanitization systems, and glassware washers. The company serves healthcare facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and research environments with turnkey solutions designed to reduce operating costs, improve safety, and meet strict regulatory compliance. Based in Veneto, Italy, with 501–1,000 employees, Steelco operates a global footprint with engineering and supply-chain operations centered in Italy.
