The Austin Company

The Austin Company is a design-build firm providing site selection, design, engineering, construction, and facility maintenance services. From its founding in 1878 in Cleveland, Ohio, Austin continues to add value to its client’s facility needs.

Austin would go from supporting the burgeoning aviation industry in the 1920s to manufacturing plants for the space age and from some of the first automotive manufacturing facilities to computer-automated plants. Austin provides design-build services to eight major industrial market segments, including Aerospace and Defense, Food and Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Biotech, Automotive, Industrial Manufacturing, Process Industries, Utility Plant Support, and Commercial.

In 2005, The Austin Company became part of the Kajima USA group of companies. Kajima USA is a subsidiary of Kajima Corporation of Japan. In 2021 Austin acquired The Austin Company of the UK, Limited. Austin UK, once part of Austin until it was sold to local managers in 2005, was welcomed back as part of a strategic acquisition. Also in 2021 Austin acquired Gala & Associates, an architectural engineering, design, and project management services for automotive assembly and heavy industrial facilities.
