Andersen Caledonia's Story

Since Andersen Caledonia’s inception, we have been evolving the methods used for infection prevention and contamination control to combat the ever-evolving microbiological and environment challenges by our customers. Our professional, flexible and friendly customer service approach enables us to handle complex problems with skill and efficiency. While located in the UK our customer base is global and covers all areas of the healthcare industry. Today, through strategic growth and continual innovation, Andersen Caledonia is the largest independent sterilisation organisation in the UK.

We have two large ethylene oxide sterilisation chambers and two steam sterilisation chambers which run continuously. This allows us to process large volumes of product quickly and cost effectively.

We operate two microbiological laboratories, with one each in Scotland and England. The laboratories run a wide range of tests to support environmental monitoring in hospitals and medical device manufacturers. Our Scottish laboratory is UKAS ISO17025 with a scope that also covers drinking water. Our English laboratory has been audited by UKAS and is waiting for its certification.

Andersen Caledonia manufactures single use surgical instrument kits under its own CE marks and provides contract packing in its cleanroom.

Finally, our Validation team has grown and continues to innovate our ever-expanding business. Tighter regulations, means that our customers have to conform to more stringent criteria and our validation team have proved over the last year that they can help our customers at every stage of their products life cycle.
