ANIOS Laboratoires

Laboratoires Anios is a French healthcare hygiene and infection-prevention company focused on disinfectants, antiseptics, detergents, and decontamination solutions used in hospitals, clinics, dental practices, life sciences, and other professional settings. Founded in Lille in 1898, the company built a strong European franchise in surface disinfection, instrument reprocessing, hand hygiene, and endoscope-related infection control products. In 2017, Ecolab completed the acquisition of Laboratoires Anios, integrating the business into its global healthcare and hygiene portfolio while the Laboratoires Anios legal entity in France continues to operate. The company is commercial-stage rather than a drug developer, with revenues derived from marketed infection-prevention products and related services. Its business is best understood as healthcare infection control and professional hygiene rather than therapeutics or biotech R&D.
