    How many are you are affected by the shutdown of the Sterigenics WIllowbrook facility?  Do you have a backup sterilization company.  Can someone recommend an Eto sterilization company besides Steris.

    We use both Steris and Sterigenics but were not directly affected by the Willowbrook shutdown.  Although I haven't worked with companies other than those two, I can recommend two facilities that I've audited and looked good.  Sterigenics has a second EO facility in Salt Lake City, and Steris has an EO facility in Minneapolis.  Good luck!

    Hello Jacqueline,

    Although I don't have any direct experience with either company Medline and Vantage Specialty Chemicals, both here in IL also provide Eto sterilization services.

    ​We plan to transfer some of our products to another Sterigenics site. I don't have any experience with other sterilizers.
