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.

It’s Only Common Sense: If You’re Not Differentiated, You’re Dead
10/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense“Good enough” is not good enough in business. Not anymore. “Good enough” is a death sentence in today’s market. Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes. Everyone has them. If you think that’s your differentiator, you’re already in the grave; you just don’t know it.

Standard of Excellence: Overcoming Service Failures—The Art of the Apology
10/08/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceNo matter how refined the processes, how seasoned the team, or how sophisticated the technology, mistakes happen in business. A shipment goes out late. A part doesn’t meet spec. A miscommunication causes frustration. It’s the part of customer service that no one likes to talk about, but every company must master how to respond when things go wrong.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
