About Anguil

Anguil Environmental Systems, Inc. is a family-owned and operated company specializing in highly-engineered environmental equipment and service solutions for industrial air and water pollution challenges. Founded in 1978 by Gene Anguil in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the firm was established with foresight into the growing importance of environmental regulations. Gene Anguil, a Fulbright Scholar and former Apollo Project aerospace engineer, started the company at age 39 from his home, initially as Anguil Energy Systems, before rebranding in 1987 to reflect its environmental focus.

The company's business model is centered on providing custom, turnkey solutions that encompass design, engineering, manufacturing, installation, and aftermarket services. Revenue is generated through the sale of these integrated systems and ongoing service contracts, which include maintenance, retrofits, and spare parts for their own equipment as well as that of competitors. Anguil serves a global client base across diverse industries such as automotive, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. The company has steadily grown, establishing international offices in Asia and Europe to support its worldwide installations. A significant milestone occurred in 2008 with the leadership transition to the second generation, with Chris Anguil as President and Deb Anguil as Chief Operating Officer. In 2024, the leadership formed Anguil Industrial, LLC to acquire Young & Bertke Air Systems Company, a mechanical contractor, to enhance its fabrication and installation capabilities.

Anguil's core product line for air pollution control includes a range of oxidizer technologies, such as Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers (RTOs), catalytic oxidizers, and direct-fired units. These systems are designed to destroy Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and process odors emitted during manufacturing. A key offering is the integration of energy recovery systems, which capture waste heat from industrial processes to reduce client operating costs and energy consumption. For wastewater treatment, Anguil provides comprehensive treatment trains that integrate various technologies to remove solid or liquid pollutants from industrial and remediation applications. The company differentiates itself by offering an unbiased equipment selection based on specific process needs rather than a limited product portfolio, backed by a "Never Walk Away" policy that guarantees long-term support and compliance.
