FROSTBURG, MD — Clym Environmental Services, LLC celebrated the opening of its new processing facility in Frostburg, Maryland, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, August 27, 2026. The event drew more than 100 attendees, including elected officials, industry leaders, and community partners, who gathered to mark the occasion. The ceremony included a VIP tour of the facility and informational stations highlighting the company's ozone treatment technology and the solar system installed by Energy Select, which will power operations.
The program featured remarks from state and regional leaders, including Maryland Commerce Secretary Harry Coker, Allegany County Commissioner Bill Atkinson, and Kelly Schulz, CEO of the Maryland Tech Council. Juli McCoy, President & CEO of the Allegany County Chamber of Commerce, praised the facility's potential: "Clym Environmental will create living-wage jobs, and its operations, using technology and environmental science, make its proximity to Frostburg State University a perfect fit for the Frostburg Business Park and Allegany County."
Clym also received a certificate of congressional recognition, presented on behalf of Congresswoman April McClain Delaney. Kendall Abruzzese, Western Maryland Outreach Coordinator, delivered the certificate, noting the company's "pioneering work in environmentally friendly and innovative waste management biotechnology" and its contribution to workforce opportunities and long-term economic growth in Western Maryland.
The Frostburg facility will process biohazardous material using Clym's proprietary ozone treatment technology, which converts waste into safe, reusable materials. The process uses ozone generated from ambient air and is powered by solar energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional thermal treatment. This approach aligns with the company's focus on sustainability and supports its growth across the eastern United States.
The ribbon-cutting follows Clym's recognition as the Life Sciences Innovation of the Year winner at the Maryland Tech Council's 2026 ICON Awards. The new facility reinforces the company's role in advancing sustainable waste management for the life sciences, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Clym Environmental, founded in 1998, provides regulated waste management and compliance solutions across the eastern and midwestern United States. For more information, visit clymenvironmental.com.
