What Environmental Protection Industries does

Environmental Protection Industries (EPI) is a full-service environmental consulting and remediation firm headquartered in South Holland, Illinois, operating primarily in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Founded in 1993, the company has built over 30 years of specialized experience addressing contaminated sites and supporting brownfield redevelopment, completing more than 100 redevelopment projects in its core market.

EPI delivers three core service lines that function as an integrated delivery model: Environmental Consulting Services (assessment, planning, and compliance guidance), Remediation Services (soil and groundwater treatment, hazardous material removal, and site cleanup), and Brownfield Redevelopment (repurposing contaminated or abandoned properties for productive reuse). The firm serves government and municipal entities requiring environmental cleanup and regulatory approval, as well as industrial and commercial developers seeking to repurpose contaminated industrial sites. Its competitive positioning is grounded in regulatory expertise, accumulated project history, and an integrated consulting-to-remediation workflow that reduces coordination friction for clients.

EPI is a privately held firm with 11-50 employees and no publicly disclosed pricing model or revenue figures. The business operates on a direct professional services engagement model with regional clients. As of July 30, 2026, EPI was acquired by Verduntas, becoming a subsidiary within that strategic operating company's broader environmental services platform. The acquisition is intended to extend Verduntas' Midwest presence into Illinois and the Chicago area while leveraging EPI's remediation and brownfield redevelopment capabilities across a wider client base.
