Addition of metallurgical laboratory resources will promote faster analysis and increased capacity
TAMPA – August 11, 2021 – EFI Global, a leading full-service international consulting firm specializing in forensic engineering, environmental, fire investigation and specialty consulting services and a division of Sedgwick, announced it has acquired Synergy Forensic Engineering. The firm provides high-quality forensic analysis services that uncover the root cause of electrical, mechanical, environmental, material and metallurgical engineering problems.
With this acquisition, EFI Global gains forensic and metallurgical laboratory facilities and engineering expertise that will increase the company’s in-house capacity and enhance the customer experience. Metallurgical laboratory testing — including electrical fire analysis, electrical/mechanical analysis, mechanical failure analysis and material/imaging analysis — provides essential information on a wide range of services offered by EFI Global. Synergy’s state-of-the-art, fully equipped laboratory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will become the hub for EFI Global’s national services in materials sciences and metallurgical analyses.
“Synergy’s technical expertise and offerings perfectly align with areas of growth within EFI Global, but more importantly, their vision, values and family-focused team create a perfect ‘synergy’ with ours,” said Jay Kramarczyk, EFI Global assistant vice president and senior principal engineer. “We are excited for Synergy to continue serving their clients and to begin serving EFI Global clients in the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering and environmental consulting.”
“At Synergy, we are experts at using the latest technology to efficiently solve the most complex forensic engineering problems,” said Chris W. Korinek, owner and president of Synergy. “By joining forces with EFI Global, we can expand the reach of our laboratory services while continuing to help clients overcome their forensic challenges — from fires and structural failure claims to environmental site investigations.”
