A Family Company with a Broad Reach
Cetylite was founded as a molded plastics company in 1945 before shifting their focus to cleaning and disinfecting supplies in 1947. The company engineered the world's first concentrate formula for disinfecting instruments and hard surfaces in 1955. It was a revolutionary product and through the following six decades, Cetylite Inc. evolved into a specialty manufacturer of an exclusive line of chemistry-based products for the healthcare industry. This diverse line of products has grown to include prescription topical anesthetics, infection protection products and other complementary dental products. All are available through a large distribution network of national and regional suppliers. Success and growth continue, while the company happily remains a third generation family owned business that maintains the values of the past while pursuing the ideas of the future.
