Engineering services firm AMA Group has acquired Skyline Engineering, a 30-plus person, New York City-based professional services firm which provides MEPS engineering, commissioning and special inspections services across various market sectors in the NY/Metropolitan area.
Skyline MEPS and Commissioning teams include a veteran staff with substantial residential project experience, bolstering AMA Group current services which, in addition to MEPS and commissioning, also include IT, security, audiovisual, acoustics, lighting, construction management and electrical product manufacturing.
Strategically, the acquisition adds a new service to AMA suite of offerings, in the form of special inspections, for which Skyline is a Licensed Class 1 Agent. The goal is for Skyline to expand the core as well as grow the service to other regions that require special inspections, such as Florida, California, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Skyline was founded and is led by Matt Wavro, a 30-plus year veteran of the design and construction community in NYC. Wavro is now part of AMA Group senior leadership and will continue to lead the Skyline team, with particular focus on special inspections and commissioning.
“We are thrilled to welcome Skyline Engineering to AMA Group given their culture is similar to AMA, where we invest in our people as our most valuable asset,” said Arthur Metzler, PE, founder and CEO. “Moreover, the ability to add special inspections provides substantive growth potential given the projected expansion of Special Inspections being required in other major US markets.”
