Eco-Clean

What Eco-Clean does

Eco-Clean, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned industrial metal cleaning and coating services company founded circa 1985 and headquartered in Austell, Georgia. It serves industrial manufacturers, fabricators, OEMs, and industrial coaters across the Southeast US — primarily Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee — offering a one-stop portfolio of metal stripping, media blasting, operational derusting, multi-method metal cleaning, powder coating (including electrostatic and thermoplastic variants), wet and oil-based coating, paint line tooling cleaning, copper plating, and metal restoration. The company also provides in-house pickup and delivery logistics for large parts and fixtures across its three-state service area. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with flexible scheduling across multiple shifts and weekends.

The company's technical core is Thermal Fluidized Bed Cleaning (TFC), a coating-removal process using heated, sand-like particles activated by airflow at 650°F–800°F, originally developed in Belgium and introduced to the US by Eco-Clean's engineer-founder, who holds multiple metals-refining patents. TFC is combined with media blasting, chemical derusting, and industrial powder coating at a four-building, five-acre facility that includes one of the area's largest state-of-the-art batch ovens, enabling handling of large or custom parts at multi-shift, up to seven-days-per-week cadence.

Eco-Clean generates revenue through project-based B2B services rather than subscription or licensing, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and no external funding. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on phone outreach, website quote forms, content marketing via its blog and social channels, LocaliQ-based retargeting, and word-of-mouth referrals. The business remains founder-owned and independent, with no evidence of private equity, venture capital, or parent-company involvement, and operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees.
