About
Us 1963
Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation
was established as a New York
Corporation on November 22, 1963
to assume operation of a
predecessor company following
the death of its owner/operator.
The business started in Long
Island City as a manufacturer of
germicidal ultraviolet fixtures
and equipment utilizing
germicidal ultraviolet lamps to
destroy bacteria, mold and virus
in air and on surfaces.
1970
In 1970
the company began production of
its own line of germicidal lamps
in competition with Westinghouse
and General Electric, who were
the primary producers at the
time. The Ster-L-Ray™
germicidal
lamp brand produced by Atlantic
Ultraviolet Corporation are
short wave low pressure mercury
vapor tubes that produce
ultraviolet wavelengths that are
lethal to micro-organisms.
Approximately 95% of the
ultraviolet energy emitted is at
the mercury resonance line of
254 nanometers. This wavelength
is in the region of maximum
germicidal effectiveness and is
highly lethal to virus, bacteria
and mold spores. Ster-L-Ray™
germicidal lamps are produced in Slimline, Cold Cathode or
Preheat type, with either
Ozone-Producing or Non
Ozone-Producing capabilities.
1973
In 1973
the company released the
Sanitron® Ultraviolet Water
Purifier product line, a unique
and rapid method of water
disinfection without the use of
heat or chemicals. Since this
time, Atlantic Ultraviolet
Corporation has introduced other
brands of water disinfection
equipment, under the trademark
names Mighty-Pure®, Minipure®,
Megatron®, and Magnum™. In
addition the air and surface
sanitizer lines expanded to
include the Sanitaire®, Hygeaire®, Nutripure™, SaniLight®,
SaniRay®, Aerologic®, and Sanidyne®, and have enjoyed
increased sales since
introduction.
1975/1980
In 1975 Atlantic Ultraviolet's
corporate offices and
manufacturing facilities moved
to a new location in Bay Shore,
New York. The new 5,000 square
foot facility was constructed
and soon expanded to 8,000
square feet in 1980. Continuing
research and development
maintains Atlantic Ultraviolet
Corporation's leadership in
applied ultraviolet technology.
Exacting procedures and
stringent quality control
measures insure products of
consistently high quality.
Engineering studies of product
design and materials are
conducted with an eye to
enhancing product usefulness and
value. Existing and potential
new products are subjected to
rigorous test protocols in order
to insure the highest standards
of performance and reliability.
Atlantic Ultraviolet's staff
continues to grow to include
ultraviolet application
specialists and an engineering
department with vast knowledge
of ultraviolet technologies. The
staff assists customers in the
selection of germicidal lamps
and ultraviolet equipment to
suit specific applications.
Atlantic Ultraviolet continues
to formulate effective and
cost-conscious ultraviolet
solutions.
1994/1997
By 1994 another move
was necessary to house the ever
growing corporate offices,
manufacturing facilities and
expanding inventory. The move
takes Atlantic Ultraviolet
Corporation to its current
location in Hauppauge, New York
to a 25,000 square foot building
which was quickly expanded to
37,500 square feet in 1997.
Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation
continues to strive for growth
with extensive work in Research
and Development. The company's
conservative management
philosophy has resulted in
steadily increasing financial
strength, profitability and
growth of market share.
