Constant Evolution of Gas Sterilization

The company was founded by Dr. Harold W. Andersen, a surgeon from New York and our current Chairman. Dr. Andersen invented a better apparatus for gastric drainage in the course of his clinical work at Bellevue Hospital in New York City. His colleagues began asking for the new devices, which led to the formation of Andersen Products, or Anpro®. Over the years, the company has maintained its focus on providing cutting-edge technology for niche healthcare applications, and in particular for those related to sensitive instrument sterilization. To maintain our leadership position in the industry, we have assembled a scientific advisory board comprised of distinguished specialists in Human and Veterinarian Medicine, Surgery, Sterilization and Validation, Occupational Health and Safety, Environmental Engineering and Regulatory Affairs.

Health Science Park, the group’s North Carolina headquarters (shown below), houses our manufacturing, quality assurance laboratory, R&D, warehousing, sales/marketing and administrative offices. The plant is EPA- and FDA-registered, and OSHA compliant.
