About Us
Kellie and I started EPP by receiving a random email from our metal supplier about their EPA-registered antimicrobial* copper, CuVerro®. Kellie's family-owned machine shop was slow due to market changes and the COVID-19 shutdowns. I work for Kellie and we have been looking for ways to gain new business. We stumbled into an antimicrobial brainstorm frenzy and immediately loved the idea of making everyday items for our first responder friends to use at work. So, we partnered together on this adventure, and are off to the races.
We are family-oriented, believe in keeping jobs in the US, and making eco-friendly decisions. We are blessed to be healthy and to be able to make self-cleaning items that will change the way we interact with everyday touchpoint items in public settings.
Our antimicrobial*, high quality, common touchpoint tools continuously sanitize themselves, making them ideal for high-traffic surroundings. At some point, people will have to go to highly populated areas like hospitals, banks, or the DMV. Our mission is to build antimicrobial, touchpoint items to kill harmful bacteria that we are exposed to when out in public.
Our products are made 100% in-house, in Fort Worth, TX. We use US manufactured raw materials in our manufacturing process as much as possible to support the economy and ensure our supply chain will not face disruption. Our products are reusable and made with recycled materials to reduce waste and promote a less plastic reliant lifestyle. We only get one planet!
