History :

Electro Static Technology Inc was founded in 1984. Our vision of passive static eliminators being utilized in high speed paper systems was innovative for a time that was dominated by powered systems. The first brush configuration was that of the V holder. A mere five years later, the two piece rigid configuration was introduced and the productivity more than quadrupled. In 1995, Electro Static Technology Inc. moved to its current location in Mechanic Falls. At the same time, EST developed a new manufacturing process today known as FLX™ for flexible brush. In 1999, Illinois Tool Works Inc (ITW), a multinational manufacturer of highly-engineered components and systems, acquired Electro Static Technology and made it a business unit of Electrostatics Division. In 2005, Electro Static Technology-ITW Inc. introduced the AEGIS® SGR product line and continues to work on new applications with Microfiber-related technologies.
