How It All Started

Built upon the lease of a single industrial sewing machine, WestCoast Innovative Pro Pads was founded in 1982 by Leslie Malloy. WestCoast has reached international status over the last four decades, establishing itself as a reliable and valued protective pad manufacturer for thousands of elevator companies, building owners and contractors worldwide, because clients count on our pads to protect their elevator investment and promote a more professional look.

Since our first-ever sale to Westinghouse Elevator in Burbank, California, years ago, WestCoast Innovative Pro Pads has refined its protective padding product to near-perfection. With protecting clients’ investments at the core of our business model, our pads can not only withstand the damage from bulk or sharp objects, but they are all handcrafted with a true designer’s eye and made specifically for each customer. At WestCoast Innovative Pro Pads, we are also proud to be ethical manufacturers, as our products are “Made in America” and, most importantly, made with eco-friendly materials.

Though we are located in the historic city of Pasadena, we offer our pads globally. Because our product features an unmatched combination of customization, quality and everybody’s favorite – speedy delivery – we’ve supplied and continue to supply products to elevator contractors in Europe, Australia and numerous countries worldwide. While WestCoast Innovative Pro Pads is the international leader in protective covering for freight, passenger and residential elevators, we also provide innovative solutions to make hanging and storing our pads fast and easy.
