August Mack Environmental Recognized as Top Professional Service Firm; Consulting Firm's Outsourcing Solution for EH&S Issues Secures Its Second Award in 2004

INDIANAPOLIS--Oct. 1, 20041, 2004--The August Mack Environmental outsourcing management system - eCAP - earned an excellence award in the service category of the BKD Indiana Excellence Awards, as announced at the annual luncheon on Thursday. eCAP also outranked competing Michigan companies in the 2004 Detroit Regional Chamber's Best Practices competition, winning in the technology category in July.

The BKD Indiana Excellence Awards promote business performance excellence and recognize measured improvements of organizations in Indiana. "Being recognized by the group at the BKD Indiana Excellence Awards adds another layer of credibility to eCAP," said Geoff Glanders, President of August Mack. "In just four short years, eCAP has become one of our strongest products."

In July 2004, August Mack received first-place in the technology category of the Detroit Regional Chamber's Best Practices competition. The judging panel noted the product's interconnectivity, eCAP is a "great use of technology to achieve value-added service."

eCAP is a guaranteed environmental health and safety (EH&S) program, in which a team of experts makes regular site visits to assess and maintain compliance at a client facility. Technical personnel monitor a facility's compliance via web-based site-specific permits, plans, regulatory submittals and a detailed compliance calendar. Personal contact and Internet availability combine to enable August Mack to complete these EH&S functions so the facility engineers and managers can focus on what makes the plant profitable - manufacturing.

Nearing completion of its initial five-year plan, eCAP boasts a 100 percent compliance record, passing numerous regulatory inspections. Also, in 2004, 100 percent of clients renewed contracts from the previous year. "We designed eCAP to be a continued-service package for our clients - a true solution to their EH&S needs," said August Mack Vice President, Bryan Petriko. "Earning recognition for service really gets at the heart of eCAP."

In addition to eCAP, August Mack provides process engineering, environmental consulting, health & safety consulting and construction management solutions to the industrial, legal, financial and government sectors throughout the United States. Headquartered in Indianapolis with offices in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, August Mack relies on years of experience in the EH&S industry to ensure a superior consulting experience.
