One needs only to visit Cambridge Environmental Technologies to understand why we exist and why our people are so passionate about what they do.
Located in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, this U.S. manufacturing company’s own backyard serves as a daily reminder of the importance of making both personal and organizational choices that help to protect and preserve our invaluable natural resources.
Here, eagles soar past our windows, waterfowl of numerous species congregate in the fields surrounding our facility, and our rivers and other nearby bodies of water teem with fish and crab. Surrounding wetlands are cloaked in equally diverse flora and fauna.
Also, major industries within our community and throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland are economically dependent upon the continued well-being of our environment. These industries include fishing, crabbing, seafood processing, farming and tourism, to name a few.
In short, the environment could not be any closer to us, or more personal.
