When Kay Adams and Michele McSwain first met in the spring of 1996, it took only a few minutes to realize that they shared a common vision of developing, designing and manufacturing a cleanroom static control garment system that could be used in the growing cleanroom market.
Kay Adams was the president of Tech Wear, Inc. a successful supplier of superior static control garments to the non-cleanroom environments. Michele McSwain had experience in presiding over large disk drive related manufacturing organizations. Both recognized the huge gap that needed to be filled. While excellent products were available for controlling particulate contamination, the demands were quickly increasing in the market for an ESD (electrostatic discharge) cleanroom garment system.
TW Clean was established for that specific purpose. After 3 years of development and field testing, a guaranteed
through-body-and-garment grounding system is introduced to the market.
