Anexa is a domestic manufacturer of sterile water and sterile saline products. In a typical facility, hundreds of units of sterile water and sterile saline are used daily. Given high demand historically, sterile water and sterile saline have been prone to shortages, rolling on and off the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s drug shortage list for more than five years.

Prestige Ameritech, one of the country’s largest manufacturers of personal protective equipment (PPE), acquired Anexa Biomedical in 2023, and moved operations to its North Richland Hills, TX facility.

“We are actively looking to grow our business by expanding into categories in need of a reliable domestic production option to prevent shortages,” said Dan Reese, Prestige founder and CEO. “As the COVID-19 pandemic proved, diverse and on-shore manufacturing of critical healthcare products is a national security issue. With these categories, we will seek long-term, multi-year commitments that give us certainty and allow us to dedicate our resources to increase production to address shortages of critical supply items.”
