EPC, Inc. Chooses Wright City for Processing Center WRIGHT CITY, MO – The Greater Warren County Economic Development Council (GWCEDC) is pleased to announce that EPC, Inc. has selected Wright City, Missouri as the location for their electronics recycling center. EPC will relocate their “E-Scrap Processing Center” from a leased space in Earth City, Missouri to a new facility the company will construct and own in Wright City. The relocation is part of an initiative by the company to invest in new, advanced machinery and expand their workforce to better position the company for future growth. The newly-constructed facility, which is estimated to be approximately 104,000 square feet, will be located adjacent to the Gateway West Industrial Centre at the southeast corner of South Stringtown Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway. Construction is estimated to be completed by mid-2016. The company intends to employ 70 people at the Wright City location immediately upon completion of construction. Many of the initial 70 employees will be transferred from Earth City with the remainder hired new from the local market. The company also intends to hire an additional 20 employees from the local market over the next 3 years. “EPC is looking forward to expanding our operations with the new e-waste processing facility in Wright City,” said Dan Fuller, President of EPC, Inc. “The attractive operational costs and expansion opportunities along with the cooperative business climate were all key factors in our expansion decision. We look forward to becoming part of the local business community and expect to continue our growth in the region.” Headquartered in St. Charles, Missouri, EPC provides IT asset recovery, computer recycling, data destruction and hard drive shredding services to businesses in the United States and Canada. EPC also sells used computers, notebooks, and more to wholesale and retail customers. In addition to their corporate/sales office in St. Charles and processing center in Earth City, the company has locations in Kansas City, Missouri; Las Vegas, Nevada; Columbia, South Carolina; Stafford, Texas; and Allentown, Pennsylvania. “Our region’s competitive business climate and proactive economic development team make announcements like this possible,” said David Heiliger, Mayor of Wright City. “Wright City welcomes EPC, Inc. to our community and we would like to thank the Greater Warren County EDC and our staff for a job well done.” “On behalf of the Greater Warren County Economic Development Council, I want to thank EPC, Inc. for choosing our region over other competing locations for this exciting project,” said Gary Carter, President of the GWCEDC Board of Directors. “This project brings needed jobs, new investment, and increased recognition for Warren County as the location of choice for business. We greatly appreciate the partnership and support of the elected leadership and staff of Wright City leading up to this great announcement.” ###
