The company supplies contamination-control products to the pharmaceutical, medical device, bioscience, automotive, aerospace and electronics industries. Its product line includes wipes, mopping systems, wall-washing systems, disinfectants, sponges and swabs.

Contec has moved its operations to a new facility in the Wingo Park with an additional 170,000 square feet of space for manufacturing, research and development, and distribution operations.
