NuTech Design Associates, Inc.

Homepage

(USA) The Nutec Group was born out of a simple concept: together, we can accomplish more. This has continually been the philosophy of the companies that constitute the Nutec Group: NuTec Design Associates, Nutec Facilities Corp, JDB Engineering, and York Consulting Group. The companies are interrelated through management, location, infrastructure, and limited common ownership. Since JDB Engineering was formed 25 years ago, there has always been an emphasis on growth and diversification to provide client-driven solutions. That approach to client service took big steps forward with the formation of NuTec Design in 1986, Nutec Facilities Corp in 1998, and the acquisition of York Consulting Group in 2001.
