What Altapure does

Altapure is a Wisconsin-based private LLC founded in 2004 that designs, manufactures, and sells high-level disinfection systems for large-area and medical-device decontamination. The company's core platform is a patented sub-micron dense fog (SMDF) aerosol generation technology developed jointly with Harris Corporation, producing an average droplet size of 0.69 microns that delivers gas-like diffusion with liquid antimicrobial efficacy using ultra-low concentrations of EPA-registered peracetic acid (0.88% hydrogen peroxide and 0.18% PAA). The product portfolio spans the flagship AP-4 High Level Disinfection System for hospitals, ICUs, operating rooms, and clean rooms; the PC-R.E.D. portable system for smaller spaces; the PC-1 compact portable unit for ambulances and dental offices; the MPDC-1 multipurpose disinfection cabinet (FDA 510-K pending) for medical devices and N95 masks; the HJ-30i predecessor system; automated vent cover accessories; and Altacare PAA cold sterilant consumables. Independent third-party validation from leading infection control researchers documents 6 Log+ kill of C. difficile, VRE, CRE, MRSA, C. auris, and coronaviruses with patient rooms ready for re-occupation in under 50 minutes.

The business operates an enterprise field sales model targeting healthcare, pharmaceutical, government/military, clean room, food industry, and long-term care buyers, with distribution supplemented by healthcare GPOs MAGNET and ROi. Pricing is quote-based on capital equipment sales plus recurring consumable revenue from Altacare PAA sterilant (one quart covers approximately 15 rooms; MPDC-1 cycle cost of $0.20). Anchor customers include Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Elmhurst Hospital, IU Health Goshen, Methodist Hospital Indianapolis, and Louis Stokes VA Medical Center, with cumulative deploys exceeding 100,000 across the installed base. The company holds 34+ US patents, IEC60601-1 medical electrical safety certification, and EPA-registered sporicidal claims, and has won a 2014 Edison Gold Award and a 2018 Becker's Top 100 Infection Control Products recognition. Manufacturing is centered at the Elkhart, Indiana facility, with international presence across the US, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Advanced Sterilization Products (J&J MedTech):
• STERIS: STERIS is a large incumbent in sterilization and infection prevention offering VHP and other decontamination systems to hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers, broadly overlapping Altapure's market with a much larger portfolio and salesforce.
• Getinge: Getinge provides infection control and surgical workflow solutions including room decontamination, serving the same hospital customers as Altapure with a broader equipment and consumables portfolio.

Direct peers

• TOMI Environmental Solutions: TOMI's SteraMist ionized hydrogen peroxide system competes with Altapure's AP-4/PC-R.E.D. in hospital room and cleanroom decontamination using a different aerosol activation approach but the same fogging-based value proposition.
• Tru-D SmartUVC: Tru-D's UV-C disinfection robots target the same hospital terminal-cleaning workflow as Altapure and are a frequent comparator in infection control procurement decisions (e.g., IU Health Goshen evaluated both before choosing Altapure).
• Xenex Disinfection Services: Xenex's LightStrike pulsed-xenon UV robots are a primary competitive alternative to Altapure's AP-4 in hospital terminal disinfection, often evaluated head-to-head in the same infection prevention RFPs.
• Bioquell (Ecolab): Bioquell, now part of Ecolab, sells hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) room bio-decontamination systems directly competing with Altapure's AP-4 in hospital, pharmaceutical, and life sciences applications.
