About
Us
Andersen
Products was founded in 1958. It began its medical business in Oyster
Bay, New York in 1963 with the manufacture of a new design for a
stomach tube. The need to sterilize these tubes led to the development
of our Anprolene line of Ethylene Oxide sterilizers. Today the product
line includes gastric sump tubes, wound drains and pumps, thoracic
pumps, and three types of EtO sterilizers (Anprolene, EOGas and
Sterijet), with their associated chemical and biological sterilization
monitors. In addition to the efforts of its own direct sales force
in the U.S., the company sells to affiliated Andersen British, French,
and California corporations, and distributors in many foreign countries.
Over 40 years leading the EtO
sterilization markets
In
our fortieth anniversary, our customers include a diverse group
of over 6,000 healthcare-related facilities around the world,
such as hospitals, day surgery centers, veterinary clinics, research
and clinical laboratories, and other medical device manufacturers.
Within the United States, we sell direct to end-users and through
a select group of distributors. Andersen conducts business with
distributors in every continent and subcontinent. From mobile
field hospitals in developing countries to the most sophisticated
tertiary care institutions on the globe -- Andersen is there.
Constant evolution
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 information
of Andersen Products, or Anpro®. Over the years, the company
has maintained its focus on providing cutting-edge technology
for niche healthcare applications. 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 above),
houses our manufacturing, quality assurance laboratory, R&D,
warehousing, sales/marketing and administrative offices. The plant
is EPA- and FDA registered, and OSHA compliant. We announce with
pride that we recently received the coveted ISO 9002 quality systems
certification for the manufacture of our sterilizers, and for the
manufacture and sterilization of our medical products such as nasogastric
tubes and wound drains.
