ACME Environmental Inc. stands out as a leading provider of oil spill response and remediation services, dedicated to safeguarding both marine and land ecosystems. Founded in 1967 by Howard Stanfield, ACME initially began as an environmental product manufacturer, pioneering the production of essential oil spill containment equipment. Over the years, the company has grown significantly, transitioning from solely manufacturing to providing comprehensive spill response solutions.
The company gained prominence following the introduction of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, which stimulated demand for effective oil spill management solutions. ACME Environmental was one of the original ten companies to register with the Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) program, which evaluates the capabilities of response contractors. Through its long-standing commitment to safety and efficiency, ACME has been involved in major oil spill incidents globally, including the infamous Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, and more recently, the BP Macondo Oil Spill in 2010.
In reaction to evolving environmental needs, ACME expanded its services to include a dedicated remediation division in 2013, further enhancing its response capabilities for contaminated sites, specifically through innovative techniques like chemical oxidation and soil excavation.
Over the decades, ACME Environmental has cultivated a diverse client base, serving various sectors including oil and gas companies, environmental distributors, and the cranberry industry. With a dedicated team that collectively holds over 85 years of experience in oil spill and remediation services, ACME continues to lead the industry with its commitment to safety, environmental integrity, and technological advancement. The company is also recognized for its training programs and its innovative product manufacturing, ensuring its clients are equipped with the best tools and knowledge to address environmental challenges.
