After 18 months of thoughtful planning, CMTA is pleased to announce that Legacy AMA Group is now fully merged with CMTA, marking a transformative moment in our shared commitment to delivering exceptional consulting engineering and design services for the built environment. This strategic integration unites world-class technical expertise with a relationship-driven approach that defines both organizations, enhancing our ability to provide unparallelled service and value to our clients.
While the legacy AMA brands—including TM Technology, Eligator Acoustics, ALD Lighting, AMA Design Build, AMA Commissioning, and Skyline Inspections—will all transition to the CMTA brand, AMA Group's unwavering dedication to the clients they serve and to the talented staff who drive their success will remain constant! Every project, every innovation, and every solution will continue to be guided by the core belief that client success is the ultimate measuring stick.
“After spending 18 months of getting to know each other and confirming that we share similar values and culture, bringing AMA fully into the CMTA family allows us to deliver more services to more clients in even more geographies, solidifying CMTA as the largest pure-play MEP engineering firm in the country,” said Kevin Mussler, President of CMTA. “CMTA remains one of the few firms offering MEP engineering and performance contracting with an incredible focus on energy and sustainability – all under one roof. Moreover, the addition of AMA Group's specialized expertise in acoustics, lighting, and immersive audio-visual design broadens our capabilities, allowing us to provide more holistic and high-impact solutions for our clients.”
This merger strengthens CMTA's national reach into the northeast region, providing opportunities to serve new industries. These include commercial real estate, large-scale mixed-use developments, and high-rise residential work, with a particular focus on leading-edge media facilities and passive-house affordable housing projects. Longstanding clients such as NFL Media, NBCU Sports, Fox News, CNN, CBS, NBA and MLB—many with relationships spanning over 25 years—as well as prominent national developers like Vornado, Tishman Speyer, Paramount and Jamestown, will benefit from CMTA's expertise in energy efficiency and sustainability solutions.
Arthur Metzler, Founder and President of AMA Group, stated, “After 25 years of organic growth in a very competitive environment, the time has come to be part of something bigger and better. This provides greater opportunities for our people—who we believe are our most important assets. The CMTA platform and people-focused culture provides just such an opportunity, and we are excited to forge forward together for years to come. Onward and upward!"
