 PROFILE
Scherer Healthcare picks up the garbage. The company -- not to be confused with gelatin capsule maker R.P. Scherer -- provides medical-waste management services through subsidiaries Bio Systems Partners, BioWaste Systems, and Medical Waste Systems for hospitals, nursing homes, doctors' offices, clinics, and labs. The company transports the waste, primarily sharps (used needles, scalpels, and syringes), to its processing plant were it is sterilized and pulverized for recycling or landfill disposal. The company's Scherer Laboratories uses third-party manufacturers to produce over-the-counter drugs from its own formulas. Chairman and CEO Robert Scherer controls about 60% of the company.
