About Ecolab contamination control
Shield Medicare – a division of Ecolab – is a market leader in the supply of specialist contamination control products to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare and medical device industries worldwide.
We started in 1990 to provide specialist products for life science cleanrooms and we have grown consistently year on year, increasing our customer base worldwide and widening the range of products offered, through award-winning innovations and customer-led design.
In 2006 Shield Medicare was acquired by Ecolab to become its Centre of Excellence for Contamination Control.
Investment from Ecolab enabled ambitious plans for a new purpose built state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Wales to be realised.
We have a unique understanding of the cleanroom environment and work with customers to meet stringent cGMP requirements.
