Alan Murphy has spent nearly four decades leading innovation in business operations and infection prevention. Before founding OxiTab®, he served 17 years at General Electric, mastering corporate strategy, Six Sigma, and Lean Manufacturing.
He then led King Research, Inc., the manufacturer of BARBICIDE®, as President for over 16 years — building one of the world’s most trusted disinfection brands.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alan worked alongside U.S. public health officials to help shape safe reopening protocols for businesses nationwide.
He also spearheaded two global certification programs on disinfection and COVID-19 safety, completed by nearly 2 million people worldwide.
At age 60, instead of retiring, Alan launched OxiTab® - a safer, smarter, and more sustainable approach to disinfection. As a father and grandfather, his mission is deeply personal: protecting people, workplaces, and the planet for future generations.
Under Alan’s leadership, OxiTab® stands out for its non-hazardous, cost-effective, and sustainable formula - harnessing the power of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the same germ-fighting compound naturally produced by the human immune system.
What makes OxiTab® different:
-
Non-Hazardous – Safe for people, pets, surfaces, and the environment.
-
Cost-Effective – Up to 80% less expensive than bleach, quats, and other hazardous disinfectants.
-
Fast-Acting & Broad-Spectrum – Effective against bacteria, viruses, spores, and emerging pathogens.
-
Sustainable – Dissolves into hypochlorous acid (HOCl), the same germ-fighting compound produced naturally by the human immune system.
Alan continues to lead OxiTab® with the same principles that have guided his career: innovation, integrity, and impact - creating a healthier, safer world, one disinfecting tablet at a time.
