Best Environmental Tech Development Company 2018 Celebrating its 25th year in business this year, IVEY draws on its vast expertise to produce a range of environmental products designed to meet the needs of its clients. The firm is headed by George who has over twenty-nine years of environmental remediation experience, and has worked on more than 1500 remediation projects internationally. He discusses how he has helped to create an immense product portfolio which is both innovative and environmentally sustainable. “As the corporate landscape continues to gain awareness of the pressure humans are putting on the environment, the demand for sustainable products grows, and as such, at IVEY we aim to offer a comprehensive range of environmental solutions to meet the market’s demands. These include Ivey-sol®, our Surfactant Remediation Technology, for cleaning up contaminated sites, and DECON-IT® Decontamination Products, for decontamination of environmental field testing equipment, which is designed to eliminate cross-contamination, and more recently for industrial cleaning applications. The Ivey-sol surfactant remediation technology is our flagship technology we continue to innovate to enhance the range of applications (both in-situ and ex-situ), and broaden the contaminants we treat. Ivey-sol actually led to the development of the DECON-IT product line. All of these products are environmentally friendly and biodegradable. “Our products and processes are very effective for in-situ and ex-situ remediation of petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, and organometallic heavy metals. This helps us to meet our corporate goal: to be a global leader in producing sustainable cost effective green remediation technology for our client’s environment. These clients include Environmental Consulting firms, Environmental Contractors, Developers and major Oil and Gas companies. We work to ensure that we are constantly meeting their needs and exceeding their expectations with both our product range and our client service.” This client service begins right from the moment the customer CB180003 shows interest in IVEY’s products, as George highlights. “When we are contacted by a new client, we interact with them in a variety of ways; via our web site, an email, voice-mail, or a warm referral from an existing client, and the number of these we receive is a testimony to the level of service we provide.
