Altro at IHEA 2026: Engineering Solutions for Healthcare Environments

We are thrilled to welcome Altro back as a sponsor for this year’s IHEA National Conference. A long-standing partner of IHEA, Altro continues to be a favorite within our community because they don’t just manufacture products - they engineer solutions specifically for the high-stakes environment of healthcare.

With over 100 years of global experience, Altro specializes in integrated floor, wall, and door systems, working alongside hospital executives, engineers, and infection control teams to transform clinical spaces into durable, hygienic environments that prioritize both patient safety and operational efficiency.

Tackling the "Big Three" Healthcare Challenges

When we asked Altro about the primary problems they are solving for engineering teams right now, three key themes emerged:

• Eliminating Downtime: Using adhesive-free flooring, Altro allows spaces to become operational on the same day of installation. No glue and no fumes means no long shutdowns for your facility.

• Infection Control: Their seamless systems are designed to support strict compliance and reduce contamination risks, both during installation in live environments and throughout daily use.

• Whole-of-Life Cost: By focusing on impact-resistant materials, Altro helps reduce the constant cycle of repairs and maintenance, easing the long-term strain on facility budgets.

Beyond Compliance: A Human-Centric Approach

While performance and hygiene are non-negotiable, Altro is also leading the way in aesthetic innovation. They are passionate about helping delegates design clinical spaces that feel warm and human, moving away from the "institutional" feel of the past without sacrificing technical integrity.

"Our approach is practical and risk-focused: we help facilities stay operational, protect revenue, and create environments that support healing, not just compliance."- The Altro Team
