Geoffrey Clemens, PE, President of CE Group, shared, \u201cWhile considering options for entering into the next era of our firm we decided to explore options for a possible partnership or sale to further strengthen the foundation and abilities of CE Group. After only a few meetings with Neel-Schaffer we discovered an ideal partnership.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur firms share identical core values and a shared dedication to enhancing the lives of our communities and employees. I know that Neel-Schaffer will take great care of our clients and employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
This acquisition will help further diversify the services offered to clients by Neel-Schaffer, the largest engineering firm based in Mississippi.
