What Sotera Health Co does

In the company’s own words

Sotera Health Company (NASDAQ: SHC) operates as a leading global provider of mission-critical sterilization solutions, laboratory testing, and advisory services for the healthcare industry. The company's website is located at https://investors.soterahealth.com.

The company operates through three primary business segments. Sterigenics provides outsourced terminal sterilization and irradiation services using gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide processing, and electron beam technology across 48 facilities in 13 countries. Nordion supplies cobalt-60 sources used in sterilization and medical applications, operates gamma irradiation systems, and manages spent source recycling programs. Nelson Labs delivers microbiological and analytical chemistry testing services across more than 900 different tests, along with expert advisory services for product development, regulatory compliance, and quality control.

Sotera Health serves over 40 of the top 50 medical device companies and nine of the top ten global pharmaceutical companies. The company operates across 62 facilities worldwide with more than 3,000 employees serving customers in over 50 countries. Sterigenics maintains relationships with more than 2,000 customers and has achieved 100 percent renewal rates with its top ten customers for more than five consecutive years. Nelson Labs serves approximately 3,000 customers with minimal customer concentration. Nordion operates with approximately 90 percent of revenues derived from multi-year contracts.

The company's sterilization services are essential components of medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, often required by government regulations. Terminal sterilization represents a critical final step before products reach healthcare practitioners and patients. Gamma sterilization accounts for approximately 30 percent of single-use medical device sterilization worldwide. Nelson Labs' testing services support product development, regulatory submissions, and ongoing quality control throughout the product lifecycle.

Sotera Health maintains significant competitive advantages through its globally integrated facility network, deep scientific and regulatory expertise, multi-year customer contracts, and vertical integration between Sterigenics and Nordion. The company's mission centers on safeguarding global health through reliable sterilization and testing solutions that ensure product safety and regulatory compliance across the healthcare supply chain.

Fund ownership is a floor, not a census — pensions, insurers and people holding shares directly are not visible here.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
