Donan Engineering Continues to Grow Through Geographic Expansion
LOUISVILLE, Ky. , Jan. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Donan Engineering Co., Inc. today announced plans to open new offices in Austin and Dallas, Texas. Donan will begin offering forensic investigative services from the new locations on February 1, 2012. These offices will represent the firm’s first foray into the state of Texas. “Texas has been on our radar screen for a number of years, but we have intentionally delayed our efforts to open offices in this market,” says Kevin B. Abell , Donan Engineering’s chief sales and marketing officer. “We saw a huge need for us to build up additional offices in surrounding states, which will now allow us to properly support our Texas market in the event of a catastrophic event that overextends our local capacity. Our growth over the past couple of years has now allowed us to build up the level where we feel 100% confident in our ability to move into Texas as an industry leader from day one. We see the opportunity to really improve the service levels our clients are used to receiving throughout the state.”
