Nationwide Autoclave Manufacturer
Beta Star Life Science Equipment was founded in 1982 in Telford, Pennsylvania as an autoclave (steam sterilizer) service company. Over the coming decades, the Beta Star team gained vast experience with autoclave equipment, and we began to develop a manufactured solution to the issues we were finding in the field. When presented with our first opportunity to build an autoclave ourselves, we partnered with R-V Industries of Honey Brook, PA for their ASME vessel manufacturing capabilities to construct the sterilization chamber.
In 2006, R-V purchased Beta Star to bring all operations under one roof, making us a premier, full-service autoclave engineering, manufacturing, and service company. That development was critical to the growth and development of Beta Star. In 2006, the operations left the Telford facility to move to R-V Industries headquarters in Honey Brook, PA. This brought a number of advantages for Beta Star.
Resources of a Large Manufacturer
By joining R-V, Beta Star gained the ability to leverage an employee base of 250 strong, in-house machining, a nuclear-level quality control team, and an in-house assembly and factory acceptance testing area specifically for laboratory and pharmaceutical grade autoclaves and laboratory equipment. With our facility size, employee resources, and continuous investment in manufacturing improvement, the Beta Star team is ready to fulfill autoclave needs of any scope.
