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.

AEG began strictly as an asbestos, lead and IAQ/biological consulting firm. Over time we have diversified to handle all aspects of your environmental needs. In order to compete and continually grow in this highly competitive marketplace, AEG has evolved into a unique technical firm offering a full spectrum of environmental services. These additional services are value added services that can be conducted directly by AEG and typically allow for significant cost savings when compared to other consulting firms providing similar, but typically subcontracted, work.

Our goal is to continue to grow through diversification of both services offered and clientele type. AEG is excited about the opportunity to work on this project and provide you with the outstanding service currently being utilized by many other educational, medical, governmental, commercial and industrial institutions around the State of Michigan and throughout the Midwest.
