Griffith Micro Science International

Griffith Micro Science International was a healthcare-services company focused on outsourced sterilization processing, laboratory testing, consulting, and logistics management. Its customers included manufacturers of single-use medical devices and, to a lesser extent, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food products. The company operated sterilization processing centers in North America and Europe and appears to have built a commercial services business rather than a therapeutic drug pipeline. Historical records indicate that Griffith sold Griffith Micro Science International in 1999 to Ion Beam Applications, and the business later became associated with Sterigenics. It should be classified as a life-science services company, not a biotech drug developer.
