Foth Infrastructure & Environment, Cedar Corp.: Wisconsin-based engineering firms forge strategic alliance

Foth – Cedar Corporation Agreement Creates Opportunities for Growth and Enhanced Services

GREEN BAY, Wis. (February 1, 2011) — Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC, a Green Bay-based professional engineering and consulting firm, has forged a strategic alliance with Cedar Corporation, a Menomonie, Wisconsin-based professional engineering and consulting firm.

The agreement, finalized January 28, will result in greater breadth and depth of resources available to serve both firms’ clients and will create opportunities for both of our companies to grow, according to Tim Weyenberg, CEO of the Foth companies.

Cedar Corporation will expand its current professional engineering services base beyond their existing location in Menomonie to include two new locations in Green Bay and Madison, focusing on municipal clients who require outside engineering assistance on a regular basis.

Under the agreement, a number of Foth’s clients and seven Foth staff members who serve those clients have transitioned to Cedar Corporation.

Foth will expand its existing infrastructure business by offering more specialized water and wastewater services as well as transportation services to select geographic markets in Wisconsin and the Midwest. Foth will also assist Cedar Corporation in meeting their municipal clients’ specialized water and wastewater needs.

“This alliance will provide long-term benefits to clients and staff,” Weyenberg said. “Our firms complement each other so well that through collaboration we have an expanded opportunity to serve our clients.”

The two firms have successfully collaborated on municipal infrastructure and wastewater projects over the past three years. The alliance formalizes that relationship.

“Through our collaboration with Foth in recent years, we’ve come to realize our companies share the same values and a passion for providing exceptional client service,” said Charlie Jones, President, Cedar Corporation. “So it is with great enthusiasm that we move forward with this innovative alliance.”
