Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation Corporate Building in 1963, Long Island City, New York, USA

Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® was established as a New York Corporation on November 22, 1963. The business started in Long Island City as a manufacturer of germicidal ultraviolet fixtures and equipment, utilizing germicidal ultraviolet lamps to destroy bacteria, mold, and virus in air and on surfaces.

In 1970 the company began production of its own line of germicidal uvs lamps in competition with Westinghouse and General Electric, who were the primary producers at the time. The STER-L-RAY ® Germicidal UV Lamp brand produced by Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® consists of short-wave, low pressure tubes that produce ultraviolet wavelengths lethal to microorganisms. STER-L-RAY ® Germicidal UV Lamps are now produced in Amalgam, Instant Start, Cold Cathode and Preheat type, with either Ozone-Producing or Low Ozone-Producing capabilities, and in standard and high output.

In 1973, the company released the SANITRON® Ultraviolet Water Purifier product line, a unique and rapid method of water disinfection without the use of heat or chemicals. Since this time, Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® has introduced other brands of water disinfection equipment, under the trademark names Bio-Logic®, Bio-Logic® Pure Water Pack™, MINIPURE®, MIGHTY★PURE®, Ultimate®, MEGATRON®, TankMaster™, and INFINITY™. In addition, the air and surface sanitizer lines expanded to include the SANITAIRE®, Hygeaire®, Nutripure®, SaniLIGHT®, SaniRay®, AeroLogic®, Biolux®, and Sanidyne®, and have enjoyed increased sales since introduction.
