QUAD CITIES, IL \u2013 Nishkian, a structural engineering firm with four locations in the western U.S., has joined IMEG Corp.<\/p>\n
An 80-employee firm, Nishkian has built a reputation since 1919 for bringing innovative and cost-effective solutions to projects across many markets including commercial\/retail, corporate, education, healthcare, government, and recreation. The 100-year-old firm will augment the expertise and reach of structural services provided by IMEG, a similarly longstanding firm of more than 60 years.<\/p>\n
“We are very excited to welcome Nishkian into our company,” said IMEG President\/CEO Paul VanDuyne. \u201cBy blending both firms\u2019 structural expertise and IMEG\u2019s full-service engineering portfolio we create a strong synergy for future growth. This allows us to leverage a broader base of market and technical expertise \u2013 delivered through our firms\u2019 shared client-centric approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
President and founding family member Levon Nishkian said his firm is excited to begin its second century of structural engineering as part of IMEG. \u201cOur clients will now be able to draw from the expertise of a national firm yet continue to benefit from the customer service of a local consultant,\u201d he said. \u201cOur similarities \u2013 long, established histories, values, and technical expertise \u2013 make this merger a very good fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nishkian will continue to operate out of its offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and Bozeman, Mont., eventually doing business under the IMEG name.<\/p>\n
