Mechanicsburg-based bridge engineering firm Modjeski and Masters announced its acquisition Monday of Flanders Engineering Group Inc., a structural engineering company headquartered in Middleburg, Florida.
Flanders, operating in all 50 states, provides electrical power and control engineering and structure balance engineering for the movable bridge industry, having completed hundreds of major projects across the U.S.
The move allows Modjeski and Masters – which designs, inspects and rehabilitates all bridge types, including long-span movable structures – to deepen its movable bridge expertise and expand its presence in the Sunshine State.
“Flanders has successfully provided their clients with reliable and practical design solutions for over 20 years,” Mike Britt, president and CEO of Modjeski and Masters, said in a release. “By joining forces with such a trusted company, this acquisition will help us elevate our client base and better compete for movable bridge work across the globe.”
Jeffrey Flanders, president and chief engineer at Flanders Engineering, commented: “The Flanders team is excited to embark on this next journey by uniting our depth of movable bridge expertise with the (huge) and long-standing success of the team at Modjeski and Masters.”
Flanders will take on the role of senior project manager in the Movable Bridge Business Unit.
