Steris company history timeline

1993

In 1993, STERIS entered into a joint venture with Indianapolis-based Ecomed, Inc., a manufacturer of hazardous waste disposal equipment.

1995

When the acquisition was announced in December 1995, the company's stock dropped 22 percent in a single day.

By 1995, the company's revenues were almost evenly split between capital equipment sales and recurring sales of consumables, such as chemicals and other accessories.

1996

The acquisition, which was completed in May 1996, added some 300 items to STERIS' product line.

1997

As anticipated, revenues rose sharply--up to $587.8 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997, a 544 percent increase from the previous year's $91.2 million.

After a six-month lull, STERIS re-entered the acquisitions game in mid-1997.

1998

In November 1998, the company announced that its shares would begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

1999

At the beginning of 1999, the company had sold more than 16,000 System 1 units to more than 3,700 facilities.

2004

STERIS acquired Albert Browne Ltd in September 2004.

2012

In 2012, Steris acquired US Endoscopy for $270 million.

2014

In October 2014, Steris executed a tax inversion from the United States to the United Kingdom, via an offer made to acquire UK-based Synergy Health for $1.9 billion.

The tax inversion was notable as it was the first US inversion post the new rules introduced by the Obama administration in 2014 to curb US corporations moving their "legal domicile" to reduce their exposure to US corporate taxation.

2015

On June 24, 2015, Steris announced the acquisitions of General Econopak for $175 million and Black Diamond Video for $51 million.

2021

In June 2021, Steris acquired Cantel Medical Corporation a provider of infection prevention products and services to endoscopy, dental and dialysis.
