Environment and Energy Specialists Merge

In the US, environmental and energy consulting firm Cadmus has merged with analytics agency Quantec, which offers energy industry research and planning expertise.

Quantec was founded in 1998 to measure and predict consumer behavior and its impact on energy, financial, and natural resources on behalf of decision-makers in business and the public sector. The company's clients include utilities firms, government agencies and non-profit organizations, financial services companies, and other businesses seeking advanced analytic and problem-solving services.

Sami Khawaja, Quantec's Founder and President will become the Vice President in charge of Cadmus' new energy services group, created as a result of the merger. He also will join Cadmus' Board of Directors and Executive Committee.

The merged company will have a technical staff of more than 200 members in more than 10 offices nationwide, and no reductions in headcount are expected as a result of the merger.

'Our merger creates a dynamic partnership that will provide unequaled environmental, energy, and utility industry consulting expertise,' said Khawaja. 'Together, we are ready to offer a comprehensive set of technical, policy, and managerial services to governmental and utility clients, as well as other businesses participating in energy markets.'
