Cohn Construction Services, LLC is proud to announce the grandopening of the newest EPC Asset Recovery Solutions e–waste return and processing facility. A special ribbon–cutting event took place Friday, October 23 at the new building located on Old Clemson Road in Northeast Columbia to mark the occasion and to celebrate the project completion.

EPC corporate office officials such as company president Dan Fuller; Tracy Fuller, marketing coordinator; and Robin Fuller traveled to South Carolina from the company’s St. Charles, Missouri, headquarters to attend this event and join EPC southeastern facility manager Louis Anderson and his team of new local employees.

Rick Cohn, chairman; Harris Cohn, president; and Avery MacDowell, project Manager; represented Cohn Construction Services, LLC (event host and general contractor behind the new facility) at this induction.

During the grand– opening ceremony, special guest Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer announced and introduced the recently completed project and discussed the positive impact EPC will have on the South Carolina economy before taking a tour of the e–waste recycling facility with other attendees.

EPC, a surplus IT equipment recycling and remarketing company with locations across the United States, contracted Cohn Construction Services to design and build the company’s newest facility. The recently completed building will function as EPC’s east coast headquarters and returns center for reprocessing surplus and end–of–life electronic equipment. An expanded staff of local talent will be hired to help operate this new EPC branch.

Cohn Construction Services completed the 30,000 square foot industrial building project this past summer. The facility was constructed according to a highly energy–efficient and “green” thermal building design. Sustainable building functions and features include BASF SMARTKOTE“ heat–reflecting wall and standing– seam roof panels, a high efficiency HVAC and insulation system, and insulated windows. Other building highlights include exterior split face block with extensive brick accented masonry detailing, large office spaces, high–grade interior finishing, custom casework and cabinetry, modern warehouse with computer diagnostic stations, electrical redundancy, advanced fire suppression, and racking systems.

“EPC has grown from a small computer services company to establish itself as one of the largest IT recyclers in the US. We have a great deal of respect for our clients, and we are impressed by the environmental philosophies and values the company upholds. We are excited to be a part of the company’s growth and proud to welcome it to the Columbia marketplace. We believe EPC will make a meaningful contribution to our community.,” said Harris Cohn, Cohn Construction Services, LLC president.
