History

Progress is our tradition.

The foundation of Grevenberg– Dahlhausen since 1915 – went hand in
hand with a new era in medicine. The introduction of chloroform as an
anaesthetic enabled a breakthrough in modern surgery.

The surgical instrument craftsman Johann Wilhelm Grevenberg recognized
the opportunities that medical progress was opening up from very early on
and saw the need for new and specialized instruments. In 1854, he was the
first to start producing customized scalpels and bandages especially tailored
to the needs of his clients.

In 1915, Peter Josef Dahlhausen followed suit with the serial manufacture
of surgical instruments - a truly pioneering move. In 1964, it was
Peter Josef Dahlhausen Junior who was the first person in Germany to include
disposable items in his sales program.

Dahlhausen has paved the way into the market for numerous products over
the course of the past decades – for disposable scalpels, dispensers,
OP suction hoses, artificial respirator humidifiers and many other innovations besides.

Based on a deep conviction and long tradition, we know: Medicine needs progress.
And for this we are prepared to give nothing but our best. This will also remain the
case in the fourth generation - under the present management of Ulrich Dahlhausen.
