EnviroSystems, Inc. (ESI), originally incorporated in 1996, began with a single goal — a focus on safe infection prevention technologies that the company believes will position ESI in the forefront of the industry at a time when there is rapidly growing awareness of the critical need to prevent biological risks — both natural and man-made. The Company has developed and has trade secret rights to what it believes to be a unique and proprietary chemical emulsion biocide technology platform. ESI produces cleaning and disinfecting products that it believes will help prevent the spread of infectious microorganisms while offering a favorable profile for health and environmental effects. This combination makes the resultant products ideal for use in a wide range of markets that are in need of disinfection with reduced threat to users and people in the use area, treated surfaces, and the environment in general.
