W.Söhngen GmbH was founded in June 1923 by Wilhelm Söhngen in Wiesbaden, Germany, as a dressing factory (Verbandstofffabrik). From its earliest days, the company focused on producing high-quality wound care materials. Over the decades, it developed innovative products, most notably the aluderm+ brand, which introduced an aluminium-coated wound contact layer to prevent dressings from sticking to wounds. This technology was designed to address the need for gentle treatment of sensitive or large-area wounds such as burns, abrasions, and lacerations. By the late 20th and early 21st centuries, aluderm+ had become a standard material in professional emergency services, clinics, and first aid kits across Germany. The company has remained family-owned and independent, emphasizing 'Made in Germany' quality and rigorous testing. In 2023, W.Söhngen GmbH celebrated its 100th anniversary, marking a century of continuous operation and innovation in medical wound care.
