Getinge and SteriPro International Inc. have formed a new strategic alliance to reinforce safer workflows and build a scalable model for the future of surgical services within sterile processing departments in North America.

“SteriPro operates one of the largest off-site reprocessing centers in North America and supports hospitals with medical device reprocessing expertise,” said Julia Elner, senior national sales director for Surgical Workplaces, Infection Control, and Digital Health Solutions, North America. “We are thrilled for this partnership and the ability to offer hospitals across North America a more complete, end-to-end pathway for optimizing sterile processing—from designing and operating high-performance off-site centers to integrating technology for full visibility, traceability, and efficiency.” 

The partnership brings together two complementary strengths—Getinge’s leadership in sterile processing equipment, automation, and digital workflow solutions, and SteriPro’s expertise in off-site reprocessing operations. Together, the companies aim to raise quality, increase transparency, and steer meaningful cost efficiencies for North American healthcare facilities.

“Our ethos has always been grounded in investing in people, fostering strong education, adhering to quality and accreditation standards, and maintaining a commitment to patient safety,” SteriPro International Managing Partner Ajay K. Jain stated. “Together with Getinge, we are redefining what safe, scalable, and resilient sterile processing looks like for hospitals, built on a new generation of off-site Reprocessing Centers of Excellence.”
