Our company was founded in 1968 by Conrad Hardin. In the beginning the company was largely focused around the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach performing Waste Management and Emergency Spill Response services, which is still at the core of our business today. As we started to clean tanks in the local terminals surrounding the port, opportunity steered us into the local refineries in the LA Basin. The introduction into the refinery market ultimately expanded our foot print by broadening our service lines, allowing Ancon to be relevant in manufacturing markets, geothermal facilities, nuclear plants and much more.
Our very first office located in Wilmington, CA. is still with the company, now serving as our Marine Divisions lay down yard. Since then we have expanded to thirteen locations throughout the United States. Some of that expansion is attributed to our conservative organic growth and some of it through the acquisition of companies like Adler Industrial Services and Coastal Industrial Services.
Today Ancon is still a family owned business, operated by its 3rd generation of family members. We are understandably proud for what we and our team have accomplished not only surviving throughout the years, but thriving.
