Tasha adds, “Stricter regulations mean somebody is going to realize that their outdated equipment isn’t going to cut it anymore, or maybe they have nothing at all. So instead of paying fees and fines for polluting the environment, they come to us to provide a solution.” The company sees this regulatory trend towards stricter policies strengthening its air pollution control business over the next three to five years. Looking forward, Epcon is planning to continue growing but also evolving to become a more outward-facing company. “For years, we’ve been very insular and kind of head down,” says Tasha. “Now we want to open up and contribute more through thought leadership and accessibility as an industry expert.” To do this, the company is investing in creating virtual facility tours in place of in-person tours, publishing case studies, articles, and videos, and opening the facility for students and other interested parties. “We are building next- generation messaging to keep the community focused on the benefits of manufacturing,” states Tasha. “We believe it is important that the next generation sees the opportunity in manufacturing and that America continues to be a producer. Our current efforts center on becoming the voice of this rallying call.”
