CINCINNATI, Ohio --- H.C. Nutting Company (HCN) is pleased to announce that they have joined Terracon, one of the nation’s largest employee-owned engineering consulting firms with headquarters in Lenexa, Kan.
The merger allows Terracon to expand its operations farther into the Midwest and Northeast, and HCN to expand their service capabilities and offer national coverage to clients. HCN president Jack Scott believes that Terracon is a good fit for the firm because of its similar values, successful track record, and large national resources that complement HCN’s strong reputation and regional success. Terracon also offers many opportunities to HCN employees including training and development, advancement and career relocation, and new corporate services.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our employees,” said Mr. Scott. “Terracon is an outstanding firm with a tremendous infrastructure. Joining Terracon will enable Nutting to continue to grow and better serve our clients. From my perspective, two of the best just got better.”
HCN will continue functioning under the same name, but as a subsidiary of Terracon. Mr. Scott and the rest of HCN’s management team will remain intact. HCN’s five branch offices, located in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and West Virginia, as well as the corporate office located in Cincinnati, will continue operations, and the firm is retaining its entire staff of approximately 280 employees.
"We are delighted that Terracon and H.C. Nutting Company have joined forces,” said David Gaboury, P.E., Terracon’s president and chief executive officer. “Nutting has an excellent regional history and reputation. Together our national resources will bring tremendous value to clients.”
