Forty Years of Educating the Industry on the Benefits of Screening

Gurnee, Illinois U.S.A., May 5, 2020 - On February 29, 2020 Philip A. Thompson officially retired as President of Enviro-Care. Phil joined Enviro-Care at its Rockford location in 2011 and within 3 years had made the company a very desirable acquisition target. In 2015, Enviro-Care was purchased by the WAMGROUP® of Modena Italy and the company moved to Gurnee IL.

“As the former President/Owner of Hycor Corporation, Phil knows how to grow a company.” stated Steve Rioux the new President of Enviro-Care. “It has been a great learning experience working with him for the past 5 years.”

“When the WAMGROUP purchased Enviro-Care, they were acquiring not just a company but the best talent in the industry to run that company.” admitted Francesco Silvestri, WAMGROUP/SAVECO® Sales Manager. “The rapid growth under Phil Thompson’s leadership has proven the merit of our decision.”

“With Steve Rioux leading Enviro-Care, I can now focus on my next major project spending more time with my grandchildren and family.” noted Phil in his retirement message to the company.
