Our stance

Why independence is an advantage for you

ep-cm has been owner-managed since it was founded in 2005: the owners run the company themselves.

That is why commitments hold for years, decisions are made quickly – and anyone who plans with us today works with the same people in the next shutdown.

We do not belong to any group with executing trades. Our recommendation is therefore based on what benefits the project – and nothing else.

We know how hard it is to find partners who are as passionate about your challenges as you are. That is exactly the partner we want to be.Marco Angeli · Managing Partner
The team

Responsibility has a name and a face

Managing directors and heads of department. From the start, you know who is steering your project – with a name, a face and an area of responsibility.

Our values

What we hold ourselves to

Four sentences that apply in our daily work – not four words on the wall.

Transparency

Open communication with clients and within our own team – even when the news is uncomfortable. A schedule that has been made to look better than it is helps nobody.

Reliability

A promise is a promise. In our service packages we stand by the result – and we say no when we cannot do something.

Cohesion

Well-established teams are the core of every project. Whoever plans with us today works with the same people in the next shutdown.

Future orientation

We think in decades. That applies to decisions within our own company as much as to our customers’ plants.

Our history

From specialist to industry partner

  1. 2005

    Founded in Austria

    ep-cm starts out in refining – with the aim of making turnarounds and projects predictable.

    Refining & Fuels
  2. from 2012

    Growth across industries

    Experience grows in petrochemicals, chemicals, pharma, crop science and energy. The specialist becomes a partner to the entire process industry.

    All industries
  3. from 2014

    Our own methods

    Hundreds of projects turn into methods of our own: TAR-Check, SMI, Project Controls on demand, Onboarding Excellence and DICTUM – experience that becomes repeatable.

    Our own Academy

    There is no vocational training for what we do. That is why we found the ep-cm Academy in Gelsenkirchen and have trained our people ourselves ever since – as needed, above all new talent.

    Step into the energy transition

    Wind, photovoltaics, battery storage and grid expansion are added – an asset base with its own logic, and with it transmission system operators and project developers as clients. The method stays the same; what sets the pace is different.
