From shop floor to engineering desk, every team member plays a critical role in delivering innovative environmental solutions to industries worldwide. We recognize that our long-term performance depends on the well-being, development, and empowerment of the individuals behind every system we build.

Prioritizing Worker Safety and Well-Being

At Epcon, employee health and workplace safety are top priorities. We maintain strict safety protocols across all departments—engineering, manufacturing, field service, and installation—to ensure a secure and productive work environment.

Key safety values include:

  • Adherence to OSHA standards and industry best practices
  • Routine safety training and risk awareness programs
  • In-house quality control and inspection for safe equipment fabrication
  • Emergency response planning for field operations

By protecting our people, we protect our clients—ensuring project continuity, consistent quality, and long-term success.

Building an Inclusive, Skilled Workforce

Epcon actively promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across all areas of our organization. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer that values different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. Our team includes skilled tradespeople, engineers, designers, and project managers from diverse cultures and disciplines.

We also invest in:

  • Workforce development and training for technical skill-building
  • Apprenticeship and mentorship programs for early-career professionals
  • Ongoing education in environmental compliance, system innovation, and lean manufacturing practices
  • Promoting from within and offering clear career growth paths

This approach not only supports social equity, but also ensures that Epcon continues to lead in delivering advanced technical solutions backed by a knowledgeable, agile workforce.

Supporting Communities and Ethical Practices

As a responsible manufacturer, Epcon supports the broader communities where we operate. We partner with ethical suppliers and local businesses, and we actively participate in local outreach and workforce education programs when possible.

Our social values are evident in our:

  • Ethical sourcing of raw materials and fabrication components

Employee Development

Epcon takes great pride in employee development, at all levels, providing ongoing OSHA Safety and technical training . Epcon encourages employees to further their education with a fee-paying program; as well as promoting from the inside. Talent retention is our secret to loyal customer service and overall business success. Our employees build relationships with our customers over decades of service. Epcon is known for the professional freedom, upward mobility, recognition and rewards it provides to its employees.

Community Health

Industrial Manufacturing involves physical safety hazards, as well as potential fires and explosions on site, to the long term affects of exposure to air and water pollution . Protecting our Employees, our Customer’s workforce and the communities they operate in is our top priority. Not only do we adhere to strict OSHA regulations, but we also design each system with multiple safety mechanisms, such as emergency shut downs, Flame arrestors and flashback protection.

Responsible Supply Chain & Material Sourcing

Custom Manufacturing requires mitigating supply chain risk while ensuring responsible raw material souring, quality component assembly, and trusted transportation of finished products. Epcon prioritizes transparent and sustainable sourcing principles, with a stringent procurement process and long-term working partnerships with suppliers and service providers that we know well.

Commitment to US Manufacturing

Since our founding in 1977, Epcon has been committed to keeping America strong by supporting local businesses and promoting US manufacturing. Our state-of-the-art technology optimizes and cleans industrial processes, to keep our national production base competitive.

Diversity Equity & Inclusion

Epcon was founded as “the American dream” by an eager entrepreneurial immigrant. Its in our cultural DNA to always support the underdog and ensure inclusion and diversity in the workplace. We are an equal opportunity employer, with strict policies against discrimination and harassment. Open communication is highly encouraged, through our “open door policy” across the company . Epcon considers all its employees as family members.

Community Health

The most significant community health and safety risks and impacts associated with the manufacturing sector arise from air emissions, which contaminates our water bodies as it returns as acid rain, as well as solid and liquid waste handling, storage and disposal, and the potential for major accidents related to fires, explosions or accidental release of toxic substances. From odor mitigation systems for coffee roasters and rendering facilities, to air pollution control and water treatment systems, Epcon works to limit negative impacts of manufacturing on the ecosystems and communities they operate in.
