When it comes to cleaning up oil and other hazardous spills, Elastec based in Carmi, Illinois, is one of the world’s largest environmental equipment manufacturers.
While globally and domestically the company is best known for its oil spill response equipment, it also manufactures and sells silt and debris floating barriers, vacuum systems, aluminum workboat and batch load incinerators to name a few.
One of its better known assignments was the cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, for which it successfully employed its oil spill response equipment and fire boom technologies. It has also sold specialty fire-booms to Brazil, and corrosion resistant skimmers for mining regions in South America.
