Global diversified professional services and investment management company, Colliers (NASDAQ, TSX: CIGI), announced today that its Canadian engineering platform, Englobe Corporation (“Englobe”), has acquired Goodkey, Weedmark & Associates Limited (“GWAL”), a leading building engineering consulting firm in Ontario. The addition will strengthen Englobe’s scale and service capabilities in Canada’s largest market. GWAL’s leadership team will become shareholders of Englobe under Colliers’ unique partnership model. The business will be fully integrated into Englobe’s operations and will rebrand as Colliers in the future. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 1956, GWAL’s 100 professionals provide mechanical and electrical engineering consulting services to public and private clients throughout Ontario, with a focus around the National Capital and Ottawa Valley regions.

“This acquisition is our first follow-on investment in Englobe since establishing our partnership earlier this year and advances an important strategic priority of bolstering our presence in Ontario’s engineering consulting market,” said Elias Mulamoottil, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Colliers. “GWAL’s leadership was drawn to our brand, partnership model, enterprising culture and long-term growth aspirations. As a recent entrant to the Canadian market, our differentiated approach will be key to attracting best-in-class firms to our platform.”

“With GWAL’s impressive history and track record of innovative solutions, this expansion deepens our capabilities and qualifications, allowing us to better serve our clients in Ontario and across the country,” said Mike Cormier, President of Englobe. “We look forward to welcoming GWAL and their talented group of professionals into the Colliers family.”
