About Us
Vesitech, Inc. is a small company that was established in 2005 to develop new water treatment technologies and apply state-of-the-art methodologies to improvements in current technology. Vesitech began as a small consulting firm, JCM Environmental, which developed special expertise in environmental data assessment and multi-phase reactor design and modeling including advanced oxidation processes for water treatment. In 2003, JCM Environmental opened a laboratory facility in Hancock, MI to develop the potential of pulsed corona technology as a countermeasure for protecting drinking water under the Small Business Innovative Research Program. Vesitech assumed all of JCM Environmental's assets in 2005, and is now positioned to become a technology development business focusing on innovative clean water technologies for small water systems.
Janet Metsa, President and owner of Vesitech, is a native of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. She received a Bachelor's and Master's of Science in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980. She has worked for the Eastman Kodak Company and with the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air Quality Policy and Standards. She established JCM Environmental, primarily a consulting business, in 1989 after her return to the U.P.
Vesitech, Inc. is located in Hancock, in Michigan's beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula. The Keweenaw is surrounded on three sides by Lake Superior and is bisected by a natural waterway and inland lake. The Keweenaw is home to Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University. The area was settled by a variety of ethnic groups who came to work in the area's copper mines. All four of Ms. Metsa's grandparents immigrated from Finland at the turn of the 20th century; first to work in the copper mines, but they quickly saved enough to purchase their own dairy farms.
The name vesi - Finnish for water - was chosen to better represent the primary focus of the business and heritage of the founder.
