West-Tech Materials All-Stars: Spotlight on Static Clean

At West-Tech Materials, we’re proud to partner with companies that don’t just sell products, they solve problems. In this edition of our All-Stars series, we sat down with Joe Moran, VP of Sales at Static Clean International, to learn how their team is helping manufacturers eliminate the invisible problems that slow production down.

Q: What core capabilities or technologies set your company apart?

A: What makes Static Clean different is we don’t just sell equipment - we solve problems. Static electricity is a silent troublemaker. It can ruin products, attract contamination, or even shut down production lines.

We help customers take control of the chaos with proven, reliable static and contamination control systems - and we stick with them every step of the way. It’s not just about our technical and sales support. It’s how we show up: we listen, troubleshoot, customize, and follow through. Whether it's a high-speed converting line or a high-volume medical device line, we work side-by-side with engineers and buyers to deliver solutions that work and deliver ROI.

Q: What markets or industries do you primarily serve?

A: We serve manufacturers across a wide range of industries, including medical devices, life sciences, pharma, electronics, converting, and packaging. If you're converting materials, injection molding components, or assembling a final product, we can help you make your static and contamination problems disappear. Our customers are facing tighter tolerances and faster timelines than ever before and we’re here to help them meet those demands.

Q: Is there a product, process, or recent innovation you’re especially proud of?

A: Definitely. Our Particle Trap line is a standout. These cost-effective, plug-and-play systems are becoming essential in cleanrooms and controlled environments where contamination control is critical.

Unlike traditional methods that just blow particles into the air, our Particle Trap source-captures them at the bench - right where they’re generated. They work seamlessly with any ionizing blow-off device and help protect product integrity while reducing rejects. QA teams love them because they actually work.

Q: What challenges are your customers facing that you help solve?

A: Our customers are under pressure to maintain clean, precise production environments—often without overhauling their entire process. We help them eliminate static and contamination at the source.

People might not know that we've been family-run since 1978 and were the first to bring particle collection into cleanrooms, the first with web cleaners for converting, and the first to offer modular static systems tailored for real-world use. We even built the first ISO 7-rated cleanroom demo facility in our industry so customers can test our solutions in a real-world environment.

Q: Why is your partnership with West-Tech Materials important to you?

A: West-Tech Materials isn’t your typical rep group. They combine engineering know-how with sales experience in a way that really matters to us. They think “customer first” and understand that urgency is the name of the game.

Their presence in California and Costa Rica - both hotbeds for medical device and life science manufacturing, makes them a perfect partner for Static Clean. They’ve become a true extension of our team, helping us get the right solutions into the right hands, faster.

Q: What’s ahead for Static Clean?

A: We're expanding our solutions for the medical and electronics industries and continuing to tackle contamination where precision matters most. We’re also growing our strategic partnerships globally so we can serve more customers more effectively.

Long-term, our mission remains the same: make static and contamination control simple, cost-effective, and easy to implement - no matter what you're manufacturing.

Q: Anything else you'd like to share with the engineers, buyers, and innovators who follow us?

A: Yes, We know your job is tough. You’re juggling specs, timelines, budgets, and sometimes even actual shocks (yes, we had to!). We're here to make at least one part of your job easier.

Whether you’re battling FM issues in medical manufacturing or dealing with static on a converting line, you’ve got a partner in Static Clean. We’re technical when you need it, practical when you want it, and always ready to roll up our sleeves and solve problems with you.
