Engineering News-Record (ENR) recently released its Top 500 Engineering Design Firms list for 2024, in which MSA Professional Services, Inc. (MSA) claims position No. 310. This marks the 26th year the company has earned a spot in the ranks, a recognition of the top one-half of one percent of over 100,000 design firms in the United States.
ENR is widely regarded as the industry authority on providing news, analysis and data from the design and construction industries worldwide. The Top 500 list is an annual ranking of the largest U.S.-based firms, both publicly and privately held, based on design-specific revenue reported in the previous year. First quarter 2024 reports indicate a continued intensifying demand for design services accompanied by lingering labor shortage concerns.
“Design firms across the nation are flourishing as a whole,” comments Gil Hantzsch, MSA CEO. “We continue to fulfill community projects funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and are being strategic in our growth by consistently adding new talents and services to MSA’s portfolio. In 2023 we welcomed the acquisition of Fredericksen Engineering, a company with a 70-year tenure of providing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) engineering design. This brings our employee-owner count to over 450 employees — a testament to the power of the ESOP business model and its impact on employee retention.”
MSA is a 100% employee-owned firm, serving clients nationwide from 17 office locations based in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
