Golder, a global engineering and consulting company based in Palm Beach, Florida, announced May 29 it has acquired Pastor, Behling & Wheeler, LLC (PBW), a Texas-based environmental engineering and consulting firm. Headquartered in Round Rock, with five offices throughout the state, including in Fort Worth, PBW provides a broad range of specialized environmental engineering and consulting services for clients in Texas and throughout the United States.
“This acquisition is aligned with our strategy to expand our geographic footprint and resources in key markets in the US and is highly complementary to our existing resources in Texas,” said Dr. Hisham Mahmoud, Golder’s Global president & CEO. “We have enjoyed a successful teaming and collaborative relationship working with PBW’s leadership and people over the years, making PBW a natural fit.”
Golder is an employee-owned company with 165 offices in 40 countries.
“We at PBW are very excited to join Golder,” said Eric Pastor, president of PBW. “We have had the privilege of working with Golder on projects over the years and, through those projects, our teams have built a strong relationship based on mutual respect, a commitment to excellence, and alignment of cultures.”
