MicroCare announced that it acquired Certol International, a manufacturer of specialty cleaning and disinfecting products.
New Britain, Conn.-based MicroCare said in a news release that acquiring the Denver-based manufacturer aligns with its strategic goals and priorities to fuel growth through the delivery of innovative, value-added solutions and services into the global critical cleaning industry.
Certol’s leading product and development initiatives will amplify the programs within the MicroCare pipeline, the company said, while it will enable continued focus on high growth segments, including medical, automotive, electronics and fiberoptic communications.
“We are very excited to announce this acquisition,” MicroCare CEO Tom Tattersall said in the release. “Certol has a 40-year history of providing EPA registered high-performance surface disinfectants and specialty cleaners engineered for use in dental offices, medical offices, and hospital settings. Certol also manufactures specialty products used in industrial, marine and consumer cleaning applications.”
“We believe that the Certol product lines, customer relationships, and centralized U.S. location will reinforce our position as a leading supplier to the industries we serve, and will allow us to more efficiently deliver an expanded range of complementary solutions to our customers. With this acquisition, MicroCare will continue to be well-situated to capitalize on the many emerging trends in the dental and medical markets. We view this important acquisition as an excellent step to position the business for continued growth as we work with customers to solve their cleaning and disinfecting challenges.”
