Steady Growth for Gruenberg Oven in 2017
2017 was a strong year for Gruenberg Oven, a division of TPS, in the pharmaceutical, medical, and lab animal science industries. Gruenberg has seen a steady increase in sales to the pharmaceutical industry of pharmaceutical sterilizers and granulation dryers used for drug manufacturing. Gruenberg’s stainless steel, continuous weld design is ideal for the pharmaceutical industry as it mitigates cross contaminants to the products being sterilized. Another strong area of product sales were the Cleanroom systems used for sterilization of medical devices by the laboratory and medical industries.
The Gruenberg Steri-Dry™ dry heat sterilizer series has seen year over year growth in the lab animal science industry as it provides a greener, more cost-effective solution than the traditional steam autoclaves used in years past for sterilization of animal cages. The Steri-Dry™ saves on utilities by requiring no water, saves on floor space with a minimal footprint and offers ease of installation with a modular design. 2018 is expected to see continued growth for the Steri-Dry™ as the demand for eco-friendly, space saving equipment continues to rise.
