Set-3-Building

The Most Trusted Critical Environment Specialists in the Industry

With a relentless passion for excellence in contamination control, SET3 has earned a reputation for professionalism, precision, and proven results across more than 70 million square feet of cleaned space worldwide. Since 1995, we’ve supported the missions of Fortune 50 companies, federal agencies, pharmaceutical labs, and semiconductor manufacturers by protecting their most sensitive environments with unmatched expertise.

The Beginning

Sterile Environment Technologies (SET3) was founded with one mission: to set the standard for cleanliness, safety, and compliance in the world’s most demanding environments. Since our start in 1995, we’ve cleaned over 70 million square feet of data center and cleanroom space — from secure government facilities to semiconductor manufacturing floors. Our founders understood early on that critical environments require more than surface-level solutions. That’s why SET3 was built around scientific rigor, high standards, and a deep understanding of contamination control.
