Global engineering firm Norman Disney & Young (NDY) has acquired Sterling Cooper Consultants, a mechanical engineering company based in Vancouver, the companies announced April 13.
The move follows 18 months of negotiations and marks NDY’s first expansion into Canada.
“With [Sterling Cooper’s] experienced team of approximately 30 engineers, this acquisition of a highly-admired firm in an established marketplace provides NDY with immediate work in Vancouver and emerging opportunities more broadly in Canada and North America,” said NDY CEO Stuart Fowler.
“Sterling Cooper’s specialist proficiency in mixed-use, high-rise buildings, hotels and residential complexes, along with its focus on innovative energy-saving designs, has all the requisite hallmarks of a complementary fit with NDY.”
Sterling Cooper’s projects incorporate LEED requirements, and past work includes such high-profile projects as the Vancouver 2010 Olympic UBC Winter Sports Arena, the Fairmont Pacific Rim, Ikea Richmond and Shangri-La.
NDY has 15 locations. The Vancouver business will operate under the NDY name.
