That's why Nicholas Eisenberger, Ecos' chairman and CEO, who is a former environmental attorney, says there is a ready market for his ASP's services. Companies want to make sure their suppliers aren't adding toxins to their component materials. They also want one centralized company to tell consumers what they did this year. We can provide that service. Ecos intends to enable companies to conveniently track information, such as the year to year pollution emissions from product suppliers.
Clients can then justify their practices to consumers.
In the meantime, Eisenberger says he currently closing an undisclosed Series B round with a new group of yet unnamed investors. Investors in the company's Series A round included Carlin Ventures, and the company's president, Bill Russell, who formerly worked at Price Waterhouse Coopers as the U.S. leader of global environmental practices. Ecos, which has 15 employees, said it would add another three employees from Semetric. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
