Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. Has Acquired Becker Engineering, LLC

Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. (HRG) has acquired Becker Engineering, LLC, a civil engineering firm with 12 employees based in Lancaster County, PA. Its services closely align to HRG’s with a strong emphasis on municipal engineering, water, wastewater, and hydrogeology. 

The acquisition allows HRG to expand its services in south central and southeastern Pennsylvania, building upon the strong reputation established by Becker Engineering over the past 20 years. Becker Engineering has been a trusted partner for notable municipalities and municipal authorities across the region, successfully completing hundreds of public infrastructure and community-based projects.

“One of our strategies is to aggressively expand in both the municipal and utilities sectors and geographically across the eastern portion of Pennsylvania. HRG has a strong existing presence with both employees and clients in the region, and we believe there is significant growth potential for us there in the longer term.” said Jason Fralick, HRG’s president and chief executive officer.

As part of the acquisition, HRG will bring on all Becker Engineering employees and will assume all Becker Engineering clients and projects within the region. Becker Engineering President Daniel Becker, P.E., will work with HRG’s leadership team, including Bonanno and Chief Operations Officer Ed Ellinger, as part of the integration and growth strategy.

Becker expressed excitement about the acquisition, saying “I believe this a great opportunity for both HRG and Becker Engineering. It’s a simple way to bring the depth and expertise of a nationally recognized leader like HRG to a local and responsive operation like Becker Engineering that has strong momentum and an established presence within the region. As with any acquisition, alignment of the firm’s culture, core values, and commitment to quality are at the foundation of long-term success. We’re excited about how similar we are in these areas.”
