IGRL Consultants joins Salas O'Brien

Montréal-based IGRL Consultants has joined Salas O’Brien, further strengthening our manufacturing expertise

The IGRL team’s capabilities and portfolio complement Salas O’Brien’s existing work in food & beverage manufacturing, and the merger increases our combined team’s ability to provide comprehensive, integrated, multi-discipline engineering services in this important market.

Outstanding engineering talent is a key component of the remarkable growth of the food and beverage industry. The IGRL team has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, and with our like-minded culture and entrepreneurial approach, I am confident that we will achieve even greater success together.

As the next step in Salas O’Brien’s strategy to be local everywhere, with international resources, the IGRL team will continue to be managed by its current leaders and will adopt the Salas O’Brien name after a transition period.

The merger closed on January 1, 2022, and news was shared soon afterward with both the IGRL and Salas O’Brien teams.

Joining Salas O’Brien provides so much opportunity for our clients and team. This merger underlines what has always been the case: we are committed to technical excellence, sustainable solutions, and doing what is right for our clients and team members.
