Drawing on its vast expertise in the industry, DITTEL Engineering has full responsibility in planning, qualification/validation, metrology, and project management for cleanroom technology. Based in Schlehdorf, in Upper Bavaria, Germany, it works to advise and support companies worldwide in their cleanroom research and production operations. We learn more about the firm as it celebrates being named Best Cleanroom Engineering Partner 2024 – Germany in this year’s Global Excellence Awards.
Founded by Gernod Dittel in 1993 as a one-man engineering office in the Bavarian Highland of Germany, DITTEL today offers a wide range of services: from project study, project planning (design and engineering), to qualification (GMP/FDA compliance), requalification measurements (metrology for particles and micro biological), staff training, commissioning, to consulting and supporting worldwide companies their cleanroom operations.
It was in 2011 that DITTEL Engineering emerged from Dittel Cleanroom Engineering to initiate the transition to the second generation. Florian Dittel continues the work of the company founder and his father, Gernod, by supporting the company on an ongoing basis. He explores how far the firm has come over the years to achieve the reputation for excellence it prides itself on currently.
Gernod says, “Since inception, DITTEL and all its affiliated companies have worked hard to remain at the forefront of emerging industry developments and trends so that we can offer our clients cutting-edge support and services that they can truly rely on. We firmly believe that the best marker of a successful firm is a satisfied customer, and as such we constantly work to offer our clients innovative solutions.”

In the cleanroom field, DITTEL Engineering believes in the quote, “The best way to predict the future is to create it”, and this is implemented by seeing projects not as projects but as a partnership between the investor and DITTEL Engineering. As part of this approach, the firm supports the customer before, through, and after the project, simply to ensure the customer never feels alone. A creative and colorful atmosphere are high in importance to the cleanroom environment and technically offering the handling of interdisciplinary, so DITTEL Engineering is able to meet the needs of its clients, as Gernod highlights.
“After all, the cleanroom market is constantly expanding, and as such so are we. The market is booming and has a lot of potential due to the intensive need in the food industry to produce in cleanrooms for pharma, cosmetics, and micro-electronics. As such, we are constantly seeking to enhance our service offering to ensure ongoing excellence for our valued clients.”
The expert team at DITTEL Engineering is made up of range of expert engineers in the fields of process and supply engineering, civil and mechanical engineering, system and electrical engineering, food and production technology, general and technical physics, and hygiene technology. This means that the firm is grounded in a deep scientific knowledge, equipped with the latest technologies. It also aims to provide a family atmosphere so employees are nurtured to drive developments and help the company retain and enhance its market leaders. Seeking to build the future, today, the firm is constantly looking to develop its solutions.
This young, enthusiastic team is devoted to uniting in their work, whether they are celebrating their successes, or weathering the challenges and coming together to learn how things could go better moving forward. As a result, they are constantly bolstering their offering and instilling a robust sense of confidence in everything they do. As they keep their fingers on the pulse of the industry’s latest trends, challenges, and developments, they are always adapting and leveraging their high level of professionalism, specialism, and technological prowess in order to ensure their products are available to the highest possible standard for those professional medical institutes that need them.
“After more than 30 years of daily work, I must say that I still enjoy my work, but I do not override the young engineers, but encourage them. I have been teaching at Carinthia University in Carinthia for 25 years and love to teach young students about cleanroom technology. But I, myself, have to thank my family every day, especially my wife, because if it weren’t for her, there would be no cleanroom technology for me and many others.”
With regards to the future, Gernod is optimistic that DITTEL Engineering can continue to grow and flourish thanks to its focus on quality, as he is proud to conclude. “Looking to the future, there are many exciting cleanroom projects ahead for DITTEL Engineering that will allow us the chance to build upon our current success and enhance our portfolio of satisfied clients. Our focus is on people, so while the world is discussing pharma 4.0 and industry 4.0, we are presenting cleanroom 5.0 – the human.”
For Gernod dittel, the future of cleanroom technology lies in the hands of future generations. We cannot achieve everything without integrating young people into our experience.
YOUTH EQUALS FUTURE!
Ultimately, DITTEL Engineering started more than 30 years ago with the motto for the future taken from book one of the Roman poet, Horace, which was written in 23 BC: ‘carpe diem’, meaning ‘seize the day’ in English. To this very day, the firm is working every day to satisfy its customers more and striving through its work to make the world a better place for the next generations.
Acquisition International magazine is pleased to be showcasing DITTEL Engineering as its Best Cleanroom Engineering Partner 2024 – Germany, and we look forward to seeing what the future has in store for this ever-evolving, innovative firm.
