Anios

Anios is a France-based healthcare hygiene and infection-prevention company best known for professional disinfection, antisepsis, and cleaning products used in hospitals, clinics, and other care settings. Founded in 1898, the business built a strong position in Europe in surface disinfection, medical device reprocessing, hand hygiene, and related infection-control solutions. AniOS was acquired by Ecolab in February 2017 and now operates as part of Ecolab's healthcare business, where it serves as a healthcare center of excellence for parts of the portfolio. The company is commercial-stage rather than a therapeutic drug developer, and its offerings are focused on disinfectants, detergents, antiseptics, wipes, and equipment for professional hygiene applications. Its products are also used beyond healthcare in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food-related environments, and public institutions.
