WSP USA acquires kW Mission Critical Engineering

Troy, NY WSP USA has acquired kW Mission Critical Engineering (kW MCE). Aligned with WSP’s 2019-2021 Global Strategic Plan, combining kW’s mission critical expertise and 175 employees with WSP’s global footprint means the two firms can now offer best-in-class mission critical engineering services to their clients throughout the US and worldwide. In addition, joining with kW expands WSP’s reach to new locations in the U.S., including Troy, N.Y. and Milwaukee, WI, while strengthening the firm’s presence in Atlanta, GA and Phoenix, AZ.

“By adding kW to the WSP family in the US, we have created a strong foothold in this fast-growing sector that would have taken several years and significant investment to come by organically,” said Lou Cornell, president and CEO of WSP USA.

“We’ve always been about hiring great people, giving them a great place to work and develop their careers, and delivering great projects and service to our clients,” said James Warren, co-founder of kW MCE.

“Teaming with fellow engineers on a global scale allows us to continue our growth plan, offer opportunities to our employees, and better support the expansion goals of our partners and clients,” said Chris Kurkjian, co-founder of kW MCE.
