Introducing Cres Guard from Cres Cor

Cres Cor Health and Safety is a division of Cres Cor. They are a family-owned company for three generations, headquartered in north-east Ohio and have been a manufacturer of specialty metal solutions and a moving force in the commercial foodservice equipment industry for safe and innovative heating technologies made in the USA since 1936.

Cres Cor Health and Safety has the resources of over 275,000 square feet of state-of-the-art manufacturing and distribution facilities and have a company-wide commitment to unsurpassed reliability and superb customer service.

Cres Cor Health and Safety is committed to creating a healthier and safer work environment for first responders and those who strive to protect us. The regular exposure of our first responders and agency personnel to various hazards, especially infectious diseases, poses a risk of cross-contamination with a lack of a convenient, local and safe method to decontaminate personal protective gear. Health risks due to chemical-based decontamination processes demonstrate a need for non-chemical, zero residual processes.

Introducing Cres Guard, a mobile decontamination equipment developed by Cres Cor Health and Safety tested at 185 F, 65% Relative Humidity for 15 minutes to eradicate 99.9999% (6 log reduction) of extremely resistant viruses like MS2 Bacteriophage and spores like C.
