vipur GmbH

Providing customized filtration and separation solutions for pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with scientific support for our customers is an essential part of vipur. It is our inner guiding principles that motivate and inspire us every day. 2019 was the beginning of vipur GmbH - of vienna purification, a company with the aim of passing on the knowledge I have acquired over more than 25 years in filtration technology in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry to customers in a highly serviced and professional manner.I, Wolfgang Steindl-Kratochvil, founded a start-up as managing director in a basement office and after a few months moved to Mariahilfer Strasse 113/18 with a desk, two office boxes and our family sofa. The following months and (coronavirus) years were characterized by intensive work. The vipur team grew. We got dedicated manpower for Engineering and expand our area out of Austria to also serve customers in Italy. We invest in our stock level and trial equipment, to create more and more abilities in performing filtration trials. The sofa had to go and at the end of 2022 it was time to give the company a visual makeover. We got a completely new office interior - including an Italian espresso machine, because we simply love the cuisine and culture of Italy. vipur is establishing itself as one of the world's largest distributors of ErtelAlsop and I am particularly pleased about this fact as Managing Director. We now have thousands of filter sheets and capsules from ErtelAlsop for lab to pilot scale on stock. We start teaching at the University of Applied Sciences and from now on support students with their master's thesis. Sustainability is a topic that concerns and should concern us all. Sustainability must not just be a topic for discussion but must be actively practiced - and we at vipur do this every day, because every single contribution counts. For us, "living sustainability" starts with the selection of our company headquarters and the design of our office space. At the same time, we - as vipur employees - want to do justice to our social skills and demonstrate them tangibly to the outside world.
