HUNT VALLEY, Md. & TEMPE, Ariz.--()--EMG and Quality Project Management, LLC (“QPM”), two national, privately-owned companies that provide a broad range of services to real estate owners, retailers, commercial lenders, institutional owners and government entities, have merged to become the largest technical assessment and project management company in the United States. Effective September 2, 2014, the transaction will enable both EMG and QPM to provide more national coverage, technical resources, and services to assist clients in managing their real estate assets throughout the life cycle.

Claude N. Limoges, CEO of EMG, said, “The decision to merge evolved over a three year period as both companies recognized the value a merger would bring to our clients. The transaction’s synergies enable us to serve our clients at every stage of the real estate lifecycle, from the acquisition of portfolios and asset management to planned capital improvements and the disposition of properties.”

“We can now offer more geographic coverage and subject-matter expertise, as well as serve a more diverse group of clients together than as individual organizations. Both companies share the same core values of reliability, accuracy, timeliness, and experience,” said Ronald F. Stupi, a Principal of QPM.

"The essence of both companies is the same,” agreed Nestor Benavides, President of EMG. “We each have a nationwide network of dedicated technical resources; a centralized infrastructure ensuring quality, consistency, and service delivery; and an unwavering commitment with singular accountability to get the work right for our clients. Together, we are very excited about the value that we bring to our clients, the opportunity this creates for our employees, and our company’s bright future."

Each entity will maintain its headquarters, leadership, and personnel. EMG will retain its name while QPM will operate as QPM: A Division of EMG. The merged company will employ approximately 450 people located in 37 states, serving the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Financing for the merger was provided by M&T Bank’s Hunt Valley, Maryland branch. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
