Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Kinnelon, New Jersey, Nephros operates under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Hal S. Zarem. The company maintains a focus on product innovation through ongoing research and development efforts, pursuing commercial partnerships and clinical collaborations to expand its footprint in water purification and filtration solutions.
