Oak Brook, IL, April 7, 2026 – Sterigenics, a Sotera Health company and a leading global provider of outsourced terminal sterilization services, has expanded its Haw River, North Carolina campus with the addition of a new state-of-the-art X-ray sterilization facility located adjacent to its existing gamma facility. The expansion provides customers with additional irradiation capacity, greater flexibility, and enhanced supply chain resilience.
Sterigenics, in partnership with the Alamance Chamber, celebrated the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on March 24 attended by local officials, industry partners, customers, and employees. Following the ceremony, guests toured the new facility and observed the advanced X-ray technology in operation.

The facility provides additional irradiation processing capacity to support manufacturers in the medical device, pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, food safety, and commercial industries.
