What Cleanbox Technology does

Cleanbox Technology, Inc. is a privately held US hardware company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, that builds UVC LED disinfection systems for shared electronic devices, with a primary focus on extended-reality (XR) headsets and other frequently touched equipment used in enterprise, government, healthcare, and education environments. The company designs and patents its own UVC LED optical architecture (30+ LEDs with reflective surfaces and, in the OmniClean model, a rotating quartz plate for 360-degree shadow-free coverage) and pairs it with a one-minute automated cycle that achieves 99.999% surface disinfection (99.99% in 30 seconds) without chemicals, heat, or consumables, validated by independent lab testing.

The product portfolio comprises three core disinfection units — CX1 (single-bay, $2,495), CX2 (dual-bay, $4,295), and OmniClean ($3,950) — plus a forthcoming consumer-priced Cleanbox Mini ($599, pre-order, shipping Fall 2026), bundled enterprise solutions (12- and 24-headset Power Carts, Wellness Cart), an OEM integration kit (Core Kit, $999), and accessories such as travel cases and adaptors. Systems are rated for 600,000 maintenance-free cycles (4–5+ years of operation), and the company sells direct via enterprise field sales and an e-commerce storefront, with a partner/reseller network that includes an integration partnership with Looking Glass Factory.

Cleanbox monetizes almost exclusively through one-time hardware sales, with no disclosed consumables or recurring revenue streams. The company claims 2,000+ enterprise customers globally (including NASA, Lockheed Martin, the US Department of Veterans Affairs, NYC Health and Hospitals, DHL, and Hoag Healthcare), 1.5 million disinfection cycles per month across its installed base, and a 500%+ average customer ROI relative to disposable wipes. The firm is bootstrapped/self-funded, with no disclosed external investment, and operates with 11–50 employees. No revenue figure has been publicly disclosed.
