CME Associates Inc., a Mansfield-based transportation engineering firm, has been acquired by an international engineering consultancy headquartered in Albany, N.Y., the companies announced Thursday.
CME says it was recently bought by CHA Consulting Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The first step of the combination is a branding change for CME, which will operate as CME Associates, a CHA Company, effective immediately.
CME, named Thursday as a finalist for Hartford Business Journal’s 2020 Best Places to Work in Connecticut awards, employs 85 people at offices in Mansfield, East Hartford, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Texas.
The firm says it typically focuses on complex highway and bridge projects and provides its expertise for accelerated bridge construction.
CHA is ranked as the 37th largest engineering design firm in the U.S, according to the Engineering News-Record.
“There is tremendous synergy between the two firms and our combined transportation team will be a powerhouse of talent to address multifaceted highway and bridge design projects in New England and beyond,” CME Chief Operating Office Bryan Busch said.
