STERIS plc

STERIS plc is a leading global provider of products and services that support patient care, with a focus on infection prevention. The company offers a mix of innovative products and services to healthcare and life science customers worldwide. These include consumable products such as detergents, endoscopy accessories, barrier products, instruments, and tools. Services provided include equipment installation and maintenance, microbial reduction of medical devices, instrument and scope repair, laboratory testing, and outsourced reprocessing. STERIS also provides capital equipment like sterilizers, surgical tables, and automated endoscope reprocessors, along with connectivity solutions such as operating room (OR) integration. The company operates and reports financial information across three reportable business segments: Healthcare, Applied Sterilization Technologies (AST), and Life Sciences. Previously, there were four segments, but the Dental segment was divested in fiscal 2025 and is now presented as discontinued operations. Historical information has been retrospectively adjusted for comparability. The majority of STERIS's revenues come from healthcare, medical device, and pharmaceutical customers. Growth in these industries is influenced by the global aging population, advancements in healthcare delivery, acceptance of new technologies, government policies, and general economic conditions. Increased demand for medical procedures, including preventive screenings like endoscopies and colonoscopies, and customers' desire for operational efficiency also drive demand for STERIS's products and services.
