STERIS

STERIS is a global provider of products and services supporting patient care, with an emphasis on infection prevention for the healthcare, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Founded in 1985 by microbiologist Dr. Raymond Kralovic, the company operates in a field where scientific validation and regulatory compliance are central: its laboratory testing services support regulatory compliance and patient safety, and its professional training offering helps healthcare facilities and life sciences companies maintain compliance and safety standards.

The company's work spans the life sciences and healthcare sectors, including contamination control products for pharmaceutical and biotech companies, contract sterilization services for healthcare and life sciences firms, and equipment maintenance services. Its product lines cover surgical equipment, sterile processing systems, endoscopy devices and instrument management solutions. Businesses across these regulated industries are subject to extensive oversight, and STERIS's own materials emphasise scientifically validated products and services.

Headquartered in Mentor, Ohio, STERIS serves customers in over 100 countries and employs more than 10,000 associates, its term for employees. Annual revenue exceeds $5 billion. The company describes its focus as patient safety and regulatory compliance across healthcare and life sciences.
