Certol International has announced that MicroCare, located in New Britain, CT, completed the sale of Certol in partnership with the company’s co-founders and senior management in June 2021.
Certol will continue to operate under the Certol, ACID Magic, ProSpray and its other ‘PRO’ brands.
Tom Tattersall, Chief Executive Officer at MicroCare, said: “We closed this sale as Certol has proven to be a strong, essential business, which should benefit from a growing global focus on cleanliness and increasing the need for more cleaning and disinfecting products, particularly in the medical and dental arenas. Certol is a perfect fit to our approach of providing a full spectrum of critical cleaning options to our customers.”
Ed Cassinis, retiring Certol President, stated: “The sale of Certol was a very careful one to ensure we found the right fit for our company, our employees and our customers. We are pleased that MicroCare recognises the strengths of the Certol business as well as its future potential.
“With ongoing support from MicroCare, we are well-positioned to continue our profitable growth. With further investments in product development, information technology and distribution infrastructure, we stay committed to delivering a broad range of medical and dental infection prevention products and user friendly and safer industrial cleaners.”
Certol specialises in the manufacture and global distribution of infection prevention products for the medical and dental markets and the development of more user-friendly industrial cleaners. Since 1979, Certol has developed hundreds of safe and effective products in response to their customers’ evolving cleaning and disinfecting needs.
