About Shasta Limited

Shasta Limited is a highly innovative energetic company based in Granard, Co Longford and was founded by Ann Marie Durkin mother of three out of a need for a product which at the time did not exist. This product was a pre sterilised soother for premature children in incubators due to her sons fragile under developed immune system hygiene and sterility was essential. The concept for Shasta’s Steri Soother was initiated.

The unique Steri-Soother™ which is the world’s first pre-sterilised soother generated significant media interest and was reviewed in every major newspaper and health publications in Ireland and is available in 550 pharmacies and numerous nursery stores in Ireland and the UK. With the very positive publicity created in Steri Soother interest generated much further as far as South Africa and an exclusive distribution agreement to supply Iran and the GCC states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was signed.

Following unbelievable success both nationally and internationally we plan to continue our drive and innovation in the development of new products. We are at the forefront of research and development and are the leading company of portable sterilisation technologies and unique stainless steel BPA free bottles in Ireland and Europe.

All our products have a purpose and have significant impact of meeting the needs of today’s parents who travel more and place a greater emphasis on convenience and most importantly sterility and safety, free from harmful chemicals residential in the plastics industry. Shasta will only promote and advocate BPA free products.
