Company marks 30th Anniversary in Medical, Dental and Industrial Marketplaces
April 2009
DENVER, CO - The beginning of 2009 marked the 30-year anniversary of Certol International, LLC as a corporate leader in infection control amongst medical and dental markets and in varying industrial markets.
Established in 1979, Certol International got its start as Cottrell Ltd. and was an early pioneer of infection control products in the medical and dental communities. When ownership changed in 2001, Certol saw leadership reform, a name change and also moved shortly after to its current location in Commerce City. The company employs 35 and has an additional 20 Individual Medical Representatives (IMRs) covering regions across the nation.
"Our company is fortunate to be starting our 30th year in a position of continued growth," states President Ed Cassinis. "We recognize the importance of providing the latest innovations in infection control and work to produce top quality products while still maintaining a competitive edge in the marketplace."
Even in an unstable economy, the company sales increased four percent overall for 2008. The first quarter of the year saw continued growth with sales up in the medical, dental schools and industrial divisions.
