Kärcher Futuretech is supplying the German Armed Forces with radioactive, biological and chemical decontamination agents as part of a large-scale follow-up procurement. Corresponding agreements were signed by the contracting parties in June and July 2023.

Schwaikheim, August 2023. "For us, the orders are an important step in our cooperation with the German Armed Forces, who have been using our decontamination systems and agents for many years," explains Markus Barner, Managing Director at Kärcher Futuretech. "Compared to earlier agents, the new chemicals are less complicated to use and, despite their higher concentration, are significantly more environmentally friendly."

The decontamination chemicals ordered include the nuclear decontaminant RDS 2000 for the rapid and effective decontamination of surfaces, as well as the biological decontaminant BDS 2000 based on a special peracetic acid (PAA) and the chemical decontaminant GDS 2000 for the decontamination of all known chemical warfare agents.

The three orders from the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) represent an overall contract value of more than 10 million Euros. The final deliveries are scheduled for 2025.

During its company history Kärcher Futuretech can look back on numerous projects for the Bundeswehr. In addition to supplying products in the field of decontamination, this also includes equipping them with water supply systems, field kitchens and mobile accommodation for the soldiers.
