Epcon's Company History
1977
Pioneering Project
Our entrepreneurial young CEO, Aziz Jamaluddin, founds Epcon Industrial Systems with a custom air pollution control and heat recovery system for Sharney Container (Mauser), one of the largest 55 Gallon Drum Manufacturers in Houston. The leading edge design earned him a patent and from there several 55 Gallon Drum projects followed. Learn more about 1977 and our founding story.
