Who We Are
HEPACART® was initially developed to protect patients and improve productivity during hospital construction, renovation and maintenance projects. All of our products are designed for contractors and healthcare operations personnel to comply with the Infection Control Risk Assessment Guidelines to aid in infectious disease control, dust abatement and dust containment. HEPACART® products are used to protect the environment in many types of high-risk applications.
Our Company
Founded in 2006 by Herb Farnsworth, HEPACART® is a manufacturer of specialty equipment used to protect people during high-risk construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. The HEPACART® mission is to develop productive, durable, job-flexible, safe and sustainable containment solutions that protect patients from dust and pathogens in healthcare and other high-risk environments. Our secondary mission is to assist healthcare contractors and facilities managers with new infection-prevention measures that can also save time and money.
HEPACART® has also been utilized by pharmaceutical companies, pet food factories, and information technology organizations that require dust containment during projects in server rooms and other clean environments. HEPACART® spent four years in product development and made its first shipments in April of 2007. Those first generation HEPACART® units are still in use today. The company is a sister company of TED Systems, LLC, which does complete systems work for fire control, security, intercom, and other systems. HEPACART® founder Herb Farnsworth became sole owner in 2017.
