OTC Insights Team
Established in 1963, OTC Industrial Technologies (Ohio Transmission Corporation) is one of the largest industrial distributors & service providers in the United States. We're committed to seeing industrial operations advance through expert technical solutions & unmatched support using our years of experience.
OTC Industrial Technologies delivers industrial cleaning services across the Central, Midwest, and Southeastern United States, supporting high-output manufacturing environments with technical cleaning, preventative maintenance, and contamination control solutions. Our team helps facilities improve airflow efficiency, maintain regulatory compliance, and keep systems running at peak performance. We deliver consistent, audit-ready results for operations.
In high-demand, high-stakes production environments, even minor cleaning issues can cause major setbacks. Dust, residue, or overspray can clog filters, disrupt airflow, and affect coating quality. If equipment is allowed to accumulate buildup, it can reduce performance, create compliance risks, and lead to unexpected downtime.
Our technicians understand the pressures of daily throughput, the cost of defects, and the need for consistent, audit-ready results. OTC’s services go beyond routine cleaning; we start with a comprehensive system evaluation and inspection and provide tailored solutions designed to improve productivity, extend the life of equipment, and keep your facility performing at its best every day.

Protective Coating Applications for Long-Term Equipment Protection
Surfaces are most vulnerable to new buildup, residue, and wear after cleaning. Without the right protection, production areas can quickly return to conditions that reduce quality and increase maintenance demands.
OTC provides protective coating application services that keep facilities cleaner for longer periods and simplify future maintenance. These applications prevent overspray adhesion, reduce contamination risks, and make regular cleaning faster and more efficient.
- White Multi-Mask Coatings: Enhance visibility on booth walls and make surface inspections easier.
- Clear Multi-Mask Coatings: Protect lighting, glass, and viewing areas without blocking illumination.
- Reinforced Floor Masks: Withstand heavy traffic and resist wear in high-use zones.
- Aluminum Tacky Foil: Prevent residue buildup at oven entrances and heat-exposed surfaces.
- Grate Covers: Improve safety and cleanliness by reducing debris accumulation.
Each coating is applied with professional-grade materials matched to its environment. The result is improved safety, easier maintenance, and extended equipment life, supported by coordinated surface preparation services and cleaning schedules.
Air Handling and Cleanroom Cleaning Services
OTC delivers air handling and cleanroom cleaning services that help facilities maintain control over airborne contaminants and meet strict standards in precision manufacturing. Our experts provide complete cleaning, cleanroom disinfection, and refurbishment for air-handling systems and controlled environments where performance and compliance are critical.
