Manufacturer of Cleanroom Supplies, High-Tech Conversions, Celebrates 25th Anniversary
April 2, 2020 | High-Tech ConversionsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

This month, High-Tech Conversions, Inc. will celebrate 25 years in business. The company manufactures a variety of cleanroom wiping products and other consumable items used in cleanrooms, laboratories, electronics assembly, and industrial settings. High-Tech Conversions first opened their doors in 1995 and has progressed from a small one-man operation to its current state, which includes a production facility and separate corporate office building in Enfield, CT, and a distribution center in Springfield, MA.
The guiding force behind the steady success of the company is attributed to “a strong team and established partnerships with our customers,” said Claudio Orefice, founder of High-Tech Conversions. Although High-Tech Conversions continues to experience growth every year, it’s their long-standing relationships with customers, some dating to the beginning of their inception that makes their business a rare breed.
Despite several periods of economic decline, High-Tech Conversions pushed forward and experienced growth almost every year since it was founded in 1995. Innovative product development and “outside of the box” thinking helped the company stay competitive every year. Those familiar with the industry will recognize their leading brands such as Friendly Green Lab Wipes, Green Monster Stencil Wiping Rolls, NOVA-TECH Wipes, Wicked Awesome Wipes, and Tacky Traxx Cleanroom Adhesive Mats.
“The future looks bright for High-Tech Conversions. We look forward to offering custom solutions in addition to releasing innovative products for years to come,” says Orefice.
