Who are we
Starting in Christchurch in 2004 with local clients, in 2006 SMS expanded into other areas of New Zealand to become a truly national organisation. Since 2008 we have been certified to ISO 9001, which means we are able to provide a quality assured service and link with your own quality improvement program. We are well-versed with standards and use our expertise in AS/NZS 4187 and AS/NZS 4815 to ensure all equipment is functional, validated and meets the needs of your organisation every step of the way.
What we do
Supply We are proud to be the New Zealand distributor of Atherton sterilisers, washer-disinfectors, sanitisers and warming cabinets. Atherton equipment is used in hospitals throughout Australia and New Zealand; more hospitals are turning to these products when they want long-lasting, reliable sterilising equipment.

Validation We carry out performance qualifications ensuring your steriliser meets industry standards, those required by law, or demanded by your organisation.
