For more than 40 years, STERIS Canada has strengthened Canada’s healthcare system, supporting hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country with innovative technologies that help prevent infection, improve surgical precision, and strengthen patient outcomes.  

Behind their global reputation lies a strong Canadian story.  

With seven facilities nationwide across Canada, STERIS brings manufacturing, research, and service closer to the point of care. Their Quebec City manufacturing hub develops and produces washers and reprocessing technologies—leveraging engineering and product development expertise to support innovation. These products are available to more than 2,000 HealthPRO Canada member organizations through our contracts and are shipped globally to support their customer base.

As of March 31, 2025, STERIS held 607 U.S. patents and 2,315 patents internationally, with hundreds of applications pending—underscoring their commitment to innovation in infection prevention, surgical technologies, and life science solutions.  

Across Canada, more than 700 Associates, including over 120 skilled service professionals, provide hospitals with planning, installation, and maintenance support to keep critical equipment performing at its best. The company’s Richmond Hill, Ontario facility serves as a central hub, connecting teams across Healthcare, Applied Sterilization Technologies (AST) and Life Sciences. 

By investing in people, manufacturing, and service capacity here at home, STERIS Canada is more than a supplier—they are a trusted partner helping healthcare organizations navigate an increasingly complex environment. 

STERIS was among the first companies in North America to integrate sterilization technologies with digital equipment performance tracking—an innovation now used in hospitals across Canada. 

“We’re proud to support Canadian hospitals not just with advanced technologies, but with local expertise and service infrastructure that ensures long-term success.”
