60 Years of Manufacturing in the USA

Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation manufacturing facilities over 60 years

Our business began in November 1963, manufacturing out of Long Island City, NY. Over these 60 years, we have outgrown our facilities twice, constructing and expanding buildings in Bay Shore, NY in 1975 and Hauppauge, NY in 1994. Our current 37,500 sq. ft. facility stocks an extensive inventory and ships throughout the world. Today, our UV disinfection models and lamps are still made in the USA from U.S. and imported parts.

During the COVID Pandemic, we remained in operation as an essential business and successfully trained additional staff in product assembly and packing. Our record-setting production during that time is an example of our commitment to each homeowner, business, industry, and institution.

60 Years of UV Equipment & Lamps Manufactured for Longevity

UV manufacturing timeline

Ever since founders Hilary Boehme and Thomas Dituro established the company, its mission has been to construct UV-C products from stainless steel and the highest quality materials. Determined to rival their competition, Boehme and Dituro developed our STER-L-RAY®open_in_new brand of germicidal UV lamps in 1970. With the same entrepreneurial spirit, they introduced the company’s first ultraviolet water purifier line, SANITRONopen_in_new® (which is still manufactured today). With every new product, accessory, and replacement part, we continue their legacy of longevity.

Engineered with Excellence for 60 Years

Engineering products 60 Years

From our beginning, we have been engineering our own products — from the concept stage to the finished model. When the company was young and hungry for business, we would create custom designs to satisfy any customer need. As our engineering department has grown, it has implemented stringent quality control procedures — continuing to improve product form while keeping the function first. Here’s to 60 more years of engineering water, air, and surface disinfection models with excellence!
