The STERIS facility on Whitney St. in Northborough
STERIS Corp., a surgical device firm, has paid $6.9 million for a building next to its existing Northborough facility for a planned expansion.
A STERIS subsidiary, STERIS Applied Sterilization Technologies, will use the warehouse to expand its services, which include contract sterilization and laboratory services for medical device and pharmaceutical customers before those products — everything form heart stents to bandages — enter the healthcare supply chain.
STERIS said it is planning expansions to its radiation-processing capacity in the next two years across four sites: in Northborough and others in California, Illiniois and The Netherlands. Expanding radiation-processing facilities allows the company to support customers with routine services and with processing redundancy, STERIS said.
STERIS Applied Sterilization Technologies, which has roughly 75,000 square feet of space at 435 Whitney St., right near the town line with Berlin and Marlborough, bought 425 Whitney St. in a deal closed July 18. The company, which is based in the Cleveland area, bought the site from DRA Advisors of New York, a real estate investor.
The 46,000-square-foot building at 425 Whitney St. is the former home of Metrie, a Vancouver, B.C.,-based maker of interior home moldings. Metrie moved into a new 220,000-square-foot warehouse at 301 Bartlett St.
The 5-acre property at 425 Whitney St. was last assessed by the town at $2.8 million.
