AEG SUMMARY

In 1993 a University of Michigan student interned for a young Western Michigan University environmental professional in a new and quickly growing industry. In a few short years, Jeff Heydanek developed a business plan and convinced Scott Staber that venturing out on their own was the right thing to do. With Jeff’s youthful energy and business prowess combined with Scott’s affinity to sales and a few contacts, the plan went into action on October 6, 1995. In the few decades since beginning in a 60 sf basement office in Canton, Michigan, J. Scott Environmental (Jeff & Scott) has grown into a multi-million dollar environmental consulting, testing and technical company, servicing all of Michigan and the Midwest. Arch Environmental Group (AEG) is uniquely structured to handle a wide variety of your environmental needs and concerns – in fact, we have diversified over these years in a manner to “bridge your environmental needs”. To this day we work hard to be large enough to handle all of your environmental concerns, yet not lose the small business personal care you have come to expect from us. The following summary details three critical business components of AEG: services offered, professional staffing and market sector.

Arch Environmental Group is a dynamic environmental consulting and waste management firm serving educational, industrial, commercial, health care, and governmental markets throughout the Midwest. We are committed to continuously improve client communication, project efficiency, and regulatory compliance. These objectives will be met without jeopardizing our fundamental core values of safe, compliant and timely completion of our projects.

In this era of environmental awareness, our staff meets the ever-changing challenges of our clients through the continuous education of our staff, high quality service and the application of innovative problem solving.  As we continue to expand, the name Arch Environmental Group, will remain synonymous with exceptional quality in our field.  We will continue to maintain our values and guiding principles, integrity, dedication and work ethic that sets us apart and allows our company to flourish. 

Arch Environmental Group began in 1995 primarily as an asbestos consulting firm, specializing in school district specific work such as: inspections, specification development, project management and air monitoring/analysis. In the years to follow, Arch Environmental Group has diversified to offer all types of environmental services.
