Life Science Products

What Life Science Products does

Life Science Products, Inc. (LSP) is a privately held, employee-owned manufacturer and distributor founded circa 1973 and headquartered in Chestertown, Maryland. The company operates two divisions serving biomedical, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, and industrial customers across the US and Canada. The Construction Products division sells proprietary interior envelope systems — Bio/CR composite wall panels (CR-3, CR-4, CR-5, CR-7, CR-9, CR-11), GridLock polymer-core ceiling systems and FRP suspended grids, SeamTek resinous flooring (epoxy, urethane hybrid, UV-cured N2), Sani-Rail stainless steel and aluminum wall and door protection, Sani-Panel stainless steel wall sheets, and DorTek hygienic FRP doors — engineered to meet AAALAC, USDA, NIH, FDA, GMP, BMBL, BSL, and ABSL standards for high-containment labs, vivaria, cleanrooms, surgical suites, and healthcare facilities. An in-house Construction Services Team (CST) provides nationwide installation and training.

The Finished Goods & PPE division distributes personal protective equipment (coveralls, lab coats, gowns, scrubs, gloves, masks, respirators including PAPR systems from Gentex and ILC Dover, and lab supplies) under brands including Guardian and Sentinel, supported by a global logistics supply chain with stocked inventory ready for immediate delivery. LSP also resells Metro shelving and productivity solutions through an authorized dealer relationship.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time capital purchases of construction products bundled with installation services, and one-time consumable PPE sales to enterprise and institutional buyers. Distribution is primarily direct via an in-house enterprise field sales force targeting architects, engineers, government institutions, university research departments, pharmaceutical and biotech firms, and general contractors, supplemented by the global logistics channel for PPE. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is employee-owned with no identified VC, PE, or institutional ownership, and CD Metals (acquired June 2024) operates as a wholly-owned stainless steel fabrication subsidiary.
