Natick, MA (May 19, 2026) – MSA Professional Services, a 100% employee‑owned consulting firm focused on the sustainable development of communities, has acquired ME3 Consulting Engineers, a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering design firm.

Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, ME3 Consulting Engineers provides MEP engineering services from schematic design through final construction. The firm has led projects across a range of market sectors, including commercial, educational, retail, faith‑based, healthcare, and hospitality.

“Joining MSA is a natural evolution for ME3,” remarked Sidney Pritchard, one of three founding owners of ME3. “For 19 years, our firm has operated on the simple principle of providing the best possible service through the best possible people, which has allowed us to deliver world-class MEP service. In MSA, we found a partner that shares this commitment to fostering deep, honest relationships. This move allows us to continue to build and expand our impact and ensures that the high-standard, client-first engineering legacy we built at ME3 will continue to thrive in the years to come.”

“We are excited to welcome ME3 to MSA,” commented Nick Wagner, CEO of MSA Professional Services. “Their focus on the client experience and commitment to collaborative project partnerships align very well with our organization’s values. We look forward to learning from their successful tenure of experience and working together to deliver innovative MEP solutions to clients throughout Florida and the greater Southeast.”
