Our History
Founded in 1920, UCC Environmental emerged at a time when electricity demand was rapidly growing across the United States, driving the expansion of coal-fired power plants and the need for advanced ash handling solutions.
In response, UCC president Edgar B. Tolman pioneered innovations in pneumatic conveying and introduced the NUVEYOR® Vacuum System—the first of its kind. This groundbreaking technology helped the company navigate the challenges of the Great Depression and laid the foundation for UCC’s ongoing leadership in industrial environmental solutions.
For over a century, UCC has continued to advance the industry, delivering systems and products that adapt to the evolving needs of its customers worldwide.
