What Advanced Ultra-Violet Systems does

Advanced Ultra-Violet Systems, LLC (AUVS) is a privately held US manufacturer of UV-C germicidal disinfection hardware, headquartered in South Hill, Virginia, and founded in 2015. Its core products are tabletop germicidal enclosures (The UV Box, The UV Cube) for phones, handheld items, PPE, and shared devices; the Rollie Mobile UVC mobile whole-room disinfection unit; and the BioProtector 3131 (BRAD) HVAC-integrated air disinfection system, offered in Basic and SA variants and based on technology in use at the U.S. Pentagon. The portfolio targets healthcare-associated pathogens including COVID-19, C. difficile spores, MRSA, and other HAIs, and is supported by independent test results and documented efficacy.

AUVS operates an enterprise B2B go-to-market focused on hospitals and institutional buyers, with direct online purchase and quote-request options. Its reference footprint includes 725+ hospitals and hospital groups, hundreds of physician offices and dental practices, and deployments across law enforcement, EMS, government, educational institutions, food processing, and general industry. The company has been twice named to the Best Infection Prevention Products list by Newsweek and The Leapfrog Group, and the UV Box alone is described as deployed in 700+ hospitals. The product line is augmented by a Rental Program that lets customers access equipment on opex rather than capex.

Commercially, AUVS also repackages its offering for ESG-oriented buyers, positioning UV-C disinfection as a mechanism to reduce PPE waste, improve indoor air quality, and lift ESG scores while lowering cost. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company remains an independent LLC with no disclosed outside investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries. Leadership shown in the data is Jim Psihas (President/CEO) and Dave Rector (VP Marketing and Director of International Sales).
