KCI Technologies, Inc. - Engineering The Future, One Employee At A Time

Abstract

To an outsider, KCI Technologies may appear to be a typical, run of the mill engineering firm.  However, once introduced, prospective clients soon understand why KCI was recently ranked 83^rd on the Engineering News-Record's list of the top 500 engineering firms in the country, 7^th on its list of Top 20 Telecommunications Firms, and 55^th out of the Top 100 ‘Pure’ Designers. With a focus on providing the highest quality service through a commitment to innovation and employee development, KCI is clearly positioning itself for the future.  KCI Technologies is currently the largest employee-owned, multi-disciplined engineering firm in Maryland.   Providing consulting, engineering, and environmental construction management services, KCI had revenues of approximately $131 million in 2009, and serves clients in the Northeast, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the US.  The more than 900 employee owners of KCI operate out of offices in 12 states – Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia.  KCI has undergone incredible changes over the last several decades.  From a basement dream, to a multi-million dollar employee owned organization, KCI is poised to face the future.  However, with an uncertain economy and reduced governmental and private-sector spending, will the loyalty and commitment of the employee-owners be enough for KCI to continue building the impressive set of awards and recognition for which the company has become accustomed?
