The Austin Company, a design-builder, completed the acquisition of Gala & Associates, an architectural engineering, design, and project management services company. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Gala & Associates is an exceptional business. I have a high regard for Chuni Gala and his leadership team. The relationships and trust they have earned from the major automotive manufacturers is testament to their values and integrity. Those values align completely with Austin's. Gala has a great name, culture, and business model. We are treating this as an acquisition, not a merger," Mike Pierce, Austin President and CEO.
