UNIVERSAL ENGINEERING SCIENCES AND GFA INTERNATIONAL JOIN FORCES

January 17, 2020

Orlando, Florida. Universal Engineering Sciences (UES) has grown to become a leader in our industry in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic over the last 56 years. Over the last couple of years UES expand their footprint outside of Florida to include D.C. Metro and the Carolinas and had been
evaluating strategic plans for future expansion.

This week the firm announced the recent merger of GFA International, Inc. (GFA) a move to further strengthen the firms dominant geographical footprint in the State of Florida and beyond.

GFA International is a complementary company providing similar core services to UES including geotechnical engineering, environmental consulting, construction materials testing and inspections, building code compliance, and facilities consulting. The combined company resources now include 26 offices and 1,200+ highly skilled professionals ready to service clients throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

In the near term the two companies will operate separately, but will be integrated during 2020. Seymour Israel, Mark Israel, Frank Frione, and Fred Kaub will continue to lead the combined company.

This strategic merger provides clients and their projects an expanded array of consulting services and access to some of the best engineering talent and resources available in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic region.

The company leaders and teammates are committed to the same core values and level of service that have made both firms successful for decades!
