Gibotech secures another central sterilization facility

The Odense-based automation specialist is solidifying its position in the healthcare sector with yet another order for an automated sterilization center.

The contract was awarded in collaboration with 5E Byg from Odense, which is the general contractor for the construction of the new central sterilization unit and goods receiving area—part of the service complex at New OUH. This is thus a local collaboration between several Odense-based companies, which will yield unique benefits and synergies.

Gibotech has already installed central sterilization units and receiving areas at Rigshospitalet and in Herlev and Gødstrup. In 2020, the company also entered the German market and is currently installing central sterilization units in Kiel and Lübeck. But this time, the construction is taking place right in our own backyard—at Nyt OUH.

Throughout the bidding process, it has been very important for us to have an experienced partner on the team who has provided insight into the processes involved in a central sterilization department. In this regard, our collaboration with Gibotech has been exemplary, and we are very much looking forward to carrying out this exciting project and continuing our close partnership.

The order is also important for Gibotech and solidifies the company’s position in the automation of central sterilization departments.

“We’ve now built so many central sterilization facilities both here in Denmark and abroad that we’re starting to establish standards and draw on our experience to secure orders like the New OUH and future central sterilization facilities,” says Mikkel Bjerregaard, CSO at Gibotech.

Work on the project is already underway, and the entire service facility, including the central sterilization unit, is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2022.
