Who We Are

What’s in a Name?


ENCAP, Inc. is a funny name that most people get confused about or often spell wrong. It’s not anyone’s fault. ENCAP isn’t a word; it’s an abbreviation. Back when ENCAP, Inc. was first founded in the early ‘70s, the newly passed Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act spurred new regulations to navigate, and ultimately created a new industry in environmental consulting. The professors who decided to create this amazing company were focused on providing environmental consulting and planning opportunities for new professionals. Do you see it now?
