The Challenge:
At an EV battery plant, maintaining pristine cleanroom conditions is mission critical. These ultra-clean environments protect the high-tech machinery used in battery production, where even a speck of dust can mean costly setbacks. However, a subcontractor brought in to install and connect manufacturing equipment struggled to meet a major EV battery manufacturer’s rigorous cleanliness standards. Dust, debris, and contamination risks quickly drew the manufacturer’s concern, straining the relationship with the subcontractor.
The Solution:
MPW Industrial Services, already trusted by the EV battery manufacturer for general cleanroom maintenance, saw the gap and offered a solution. An MPW Project Manager stepped in with confidence, proposing that MPW take over the cleaning of the subcontractor’s designated areas. The MPW Project Manager helped to develop a $300,000, three-month plan that added seven specialized team members and included essential supplies like tacky mats and cleanroom gloves.
The Results:
The results were immediate. MPW’s precision cleaning transformed the workspaces to meet the manufacturer’s demanding standards. The manufacturer’s engineers praised MPW’s performance—calling them “one of the best contractors we’ve had.” Beyond cleaning, MPW trained new team members on cleanroom protocols, creating a sustainable model for success.
The Project Manager’s leadership and the MPW team’s adaptability didn’t just solve a problem—they raised the bar for performance and professionalism. As the manufacturer expands its EV operations, MPW remains a trusted partner, ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow with the same commitment and expertise.
