Technical skill, relationships and leadership are the foundation of MSG and have been not just a tradition, but a way of doing business since 1955. Continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of both the public and private sectors, the success of MSG is built on partnerships, detailed and process-oriented delivery of projects and quite simply, by living up to the one position that can only be earned, a trusted advisor to our clients.

MSG believes in progressive thinking that adds value to any project we touch. Our corporate culture encourages employees to be creative, to communicate and implement innovative ideas that streamline projects and processes. These passionate and inspired professionals foster an environment of collaboration, camaraderie and community.
MSG Powered by Trilon
In July of 2022, MSG announced our partnership with Trilon Group, a family of infrastructure consulting businesses. Within Trilon, MSG will lead the Midwest Platform with a focus on Environment, Transportation, Water, and Community Infrastructure markets. Under the leadership of its current management team, MSG will continue operating as an independent brand within Trilon.

MSG’s long-term strategic vision for growth includes expansion in its existing markets and broadening into complementary markets and geographies. MSG’s leadership constantly searches for opportunities to innovate and collaborate in order to benefit its clients and create opportunities for its staff to grow their careers.
This partnership will accelerate the execution of our strategic plan by investing in our people, growing through M&A, and collaborating on new approaches to better serve our clients. We foresee substantial benefits to our employees and clients as we expand our capabilities and service offerings. Over the past year, our leadership team carefully considered many options and partners that could help us accelerate our Strategic Plan.
