Steve Thompson, Chief Operating Officer and Board Chairperson of V&K, shared “For V&K, this transaction feels like a natural evolution, as our organizational cultures and strategic visions are remarkably aligned.

This partnership will also allow our team to reach its full potential, and we are ready to contribute to the combined company’s success.”

Louis Armstrong, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kleinfelder, added “Establishing Kleinfelder’s presence in the Midwest is an exciting new chapter for us.
