Thoughts on NV5 Acquiring The Sextant Group
“The acquisition of The Sextant Group positions NV5 as a national leader in building technologies,” NV5 chairman and CEO Dickerson Wright in the joint announcement.
“The company is a strategic fit with our fast-growing technology group and significantly differentiates our MEP design offerings to our national and international clients, specifically in the high education, hospitality, corporate, civic and healthcare market sectors,” he said.
With The Sextant Group in the fold, NV5 “can play an increasingly important role in the design or retrofit of ‘smart’ buildings,” Wright said in the announcement.
