"We closed this sale as Certol has proven to be a strong, essential business, which should benefit from a growing global focus on cleanliness and increasing the need for more cleaning and disinfecting products, particularly in the medical and dental arenas," explains Tom Tattersall, chief executive officer at MicroCare. “Certol is a perfect fit to our approach of providing a full spectrum of critical cleaning options to our customers.
