MicroCare Celebrates 40 Years of Critical Cleaning Solutions

MicroCare, a global manufacturer of critical cleaning, coating and lubrication solutions, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Since its founding in October 1983, MicroCare has grown into a worldwide company with facilities and distribution centers across the U.S., Europe and Asia.

“Reaching the 40-year milestone is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the company’s employees, customers and partners who have contributed to the company's success,” says Tom Tattersall, CEO of the company. “It’s been an incredible journey since our founder, Chris Jones, started the company with a single aerosol filling line. MicroCare has come a long way since those early days while still maintaining its commitment to product quality, customer service, integrity and continuous innovation.”

Since its beginnings in a 10,000-square-foot facility in Bristol, Connecticut, MicroCare has steadily grown over the decades into a global enterprise. The company comprises production facilities, distribution centers and international sales offices spanning three continents.

Major milestones for the company over the past four decades include establishing its Critical Cleaning Lab in 2007 to promote the highest standards of quality control; opening strategically located distribution centers in the U.S., Europe and Asia to provide superior customer service; acquiring Certol International (now known as MicroCare Medical) and ICT (Infection Control Technologies) to expand its production capabilities; and continually developing cleaning, coating and lubrication fluids.

The company has a substantial portfolio of U.S. patents, showcasing its products. This includes patented solutions like the TriggerGrip PCB Cleaning Tool and Sticklers fiber-optic cleaning fluids and tools, notably featuring the Pro360 Touchless Cleaner.

MicroCare offers six major product groups serving the electronics, telecommunications, medical device manufacturing, metalworking and infection prevention industries globally. With experience spanning four decades, the company provides turnkey and customized critical cleaning solutions that are at the forefront in quality, innovation and reliability.

“As MicroCare enters its fifth decade, the company maintains its commitment to pioneering new technologies and processes,” Tattersall says. “The future looks bright, and MicroCare is excited to continue this journey with its employees, customers and partners worldwide. Here's to the next 40 years and beyond!”
