Site work has begun on EPC’s new processing center in Wright City and construction is expected to be on an accelerated pace.At a groundbreaking Monday commemorating the company’s decision to select Wright City as the site for the new facility, EPC President Dan Fuller said it his his hope to open the facility by Aug. 1, barring weather delays.“In the last couple of days, a lot of dirt has been moved,” Fuller said.The St. Charles-based company is building an approximate 104,000-square-foot facility at the southeast corner of Stringtown Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway, adjacent to the Gateway Industrial Centre.The 13-acre property will be the new site of its “e-scrap processing center.” EPC currently leases space in Earth City.EPC has grown from being a local provider of personal computers to one of the largest resellers of used IT gear in the Midwest, and one of the top IT asset recovery solution providers in the United States.Wright City was chosen over other locations and is considered a boost to the local economy. An incentive package provided by the city includes a 60 percent abatement on real estate taxes over the next 11 years.EPC intends to employ 70 people at the Wright City facility. Many of the Earth City employees are expected to transfer to the new location, but the company plans to hire an additional 20 employees over the next three years.Fuller complimented the effort from local economic development officials and elected officials “They were a big contributing factor,” he said.EPC was founded by Fuller in 1984. The company provides IT asset recovery,  computer recycling, data destruction and hard drive shredding services to businesses in the United States and Canada. EPC also sells computers, notebooks and more to wholesale and retail customers.EPC
