The Austin Company Establishes a Florida Office

The Austin Company announced the opening of a new office in Merritt Island, Florida, in response to Florida’s thriving aerospace and military industry and the necessity for their clients to have the best-in-class design-build business near at hand.

“The Austin Company’s first aviation project was for Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation in 1916,” Mike Pierce, President and CEO, explains. “Since then, Austin has planned, designed, engineered, and constructed more square footage of commercial and military aviation and aerospace facilities than any other firm of its kind in the United States. This includes projects for Northrop Grumman and Embraer on the Space Coast.”

“With our legacy and new clients in mind, Austin has invested in expanding its presence in Florida. We look forward to our ongoing design-build work on Florida’s Space Coast,” remarked Matt Eddleman, Vice President of Operations. “This new office will be a hub for our aerospace and defense subject matter experts, designer, engineers, and construction management professionals.”

According to Space Florida, the aerospace industry has contributed $5.9 billion to Florida’s economy since 2007, with a $1.1 billion impact expected over the next five years.

Aerojet Rocketdyne, Airbus, The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Embraer, and General Atomics are among Austin’s legacy clients and more recent collaborators, as are NASA, NAVFAC, and USAF.
