The next transaction is that of EPC, Inc., a subsidiary of CSI Leasing, Inc. taking over 205,000 square-foot space in Columbia, S.C. The move is to consolidate two facilities located in Atlanta and South Carolina. In total, it expanded from 95,000 square feet of combined facilities to a new single site of 205,000 square feet. The company cited strong organic growth with increase in overall volume and expanding demand for ITAD services in the southeast US, requiring it to make such move. The company says it will use the new site to perform IT and ITAD-related tasks on equipment that return from leases and other systems, such as data destruction, warehousing, staging, imaging, redeployment, and recycling. From Compliance Standards’ perspective, the rolling out of this new site is a logical step for EPC to tackle both expected growth and contain cost. The company sees opportunities expanding on the horizons, in particular in the southeast US where the new site will provide sufficient staging space to handle the parent company’s end-of-lease equipment. With the volumes of devices expected to increase, the new EPC site will make Columbia, SC, a major ITAD regional hub in southeastern US.

PRESS RELEASE
EPC, Inc., a subsidiary of CSI Leasing, Inc. and one of the world’s largest IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers, has recently expanded its footprint in the Southeast U.S. in order to accommodate its growing service offering.
The company consolidated operations from its 64,000 sq. ft. Atlanta facility and its 30,000 sq. ft. South Carolina facility into a new, larger 205,000 sq. ft. space in Columbia, S.C. The move comes after an increase in overall volume, along with a higher demand for ITAD services, such as warehousing, staging, imaging, redeployment, data destruction and recycling for both leased and non-leased equipment. The company is also seeing a higher demand for its Data Destruction and Recycling Vehicles (DDRV) to perform onsite media destruction and has several trucks based out of the new facility to service the Southeast region.
Employees from the smaller South Carolina facility, along with several from Atlanta, will staff the new facility. EPC is actively hiring for this location and plans to have at least 100 employees on staff. The facility is managed by Shaun Liles, who has been with EPC for more than 10 years.
“With this new, larger facility, we are able to better accommodate our customers’ demand for services beyond traditional ITAD, which is typically data destruction, remarketing and recycling,” said Pat Laughlin, CEO of EPC. “EPC provides these essential disposal services along with several other critical solutions that help our customers manage a complete IT lifecycle strategy. Our goal has always been to ease the burdens associated with managing an efficient IT program, and this new larger facility will help EPC deliver.”
EPC’s new facility is located at 1326 Bush River Road in Columbia, S.C. To learn about employment opportunities, please visit work4epc.com.
