Thrilled to announce SSA's recognition as an Inc. 5000 company, a list of the 5,000 fastest growing privately-held companies in the USA. In the past year, we've grown to almost 100 team members and now serve over 2,000 customers including industry leaders like Medtronic, Boston Scientific, among others.

Excited to announce our 7th and largest addition to the Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA) yet. Today, we announced our acquisition of Class 1 Air, further expanding our presence in the Midwest. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Class 1 Air has been a leading controlled environment certification provider and specialty air filter distributor since 2005. By joining forces, we can better serve both of our customers and continue to expand our company's robust employee ownership program, benefits package, and training program. When I first spoke to Tony LaMacchia two years ago, it was clear that he cared deeply about his employees and customers. Almost all of C1A's technicians are CNBT and NSF accredited, demonstrating the company's commitment to providing the highest quality technical service. We are excited to continue the C1A legacy. The combination of our companies creates meaningful growth opportunities for our employee co-owners as we continue to expand across the Midwest. Our Midwest team now exceeds 60 people! Welcome Class 1 Air to the SSA Family! 🤝 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eGBVn9vH Juan F.

More importantly, it was clear that he truly cared about taking care of his employees (many of whom were family)!
