OUR STORY

Three Generations of
Wastewater Engineers
Henry Probst was introduced to wastewater treatment at a young age, visiting treatment plants with his father and grandfather - both wastewater engineers.

He quickly became fond of the unique challenges every facility provided.

Providing technologically advanced wastewater solutions became a passion for him; knowing he could help facilities effectively treat their wastewater and help save the environment at the same time.
1988
ProCorp is Founded
In 1988 Thomas Probst, a second generation wastewater engineer (and Henry's father) founded ProCorp.

His new venture allowed him to provide wastewater management services for his clients, with a focus on the Food and Beverage industry.
1992-1993
First EBPR Processes
Henry Probst joined his father at ProCorp in 1991, while also studying full-time at UW-Milwaukee as a Civil Environmental Engineer.

Together, Tom and Henry developed some of the first successful and reliable processes for enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) and provided innovative approaches to wastewater treatment
2008
The Probst Group is Born
After the sale of ProCorp, Tom and Henry continued their efforts to provide effective solutions for wastewater treatment.

With the support and knowledge of three generations of Probst wastewater engineers, they founded The Probst Group in 2008
2014
Henry Probst Becomes Sole Owner
Henry became the sole owner of The Probst Group, purchasing the company outright. This changed allowed the company to begin transforming their focus to complete wastewater management solutions.
2024
New Office Move!
After spending many years dreaming of a collaborative work space for the growing Probst team, Probst found an ideal location in Hartland, WI. After purchasing the space, the following year was devoted to completely transforming the space to provide the optimal team environment to inspire the Probst team. We formally moved into our new office at the beginning of 2024.
