We've Changed our Name

August 13, 2008

The engineering, land surveying and environmental consulting firm Loomis Austin, Inc. has changed its name to Loomis Partners, Inc.

An Expression of Growth

"This change is an expression of our growth and maturation as a company,” said Tom Loomis, Principal. “It is a reflection of our ongoing commitment to partner with our clients. It also represents an understanding among Loomis employees that we are partners in a common endeavor, striving together to make this a great place to work."

The unveiling of the new name and logo wraps up a period of dynamic change at Loomis. In February, the firm acquired Metcalfe and Sanders Surveying, one of Austin's oldest and most respected firms, having worked in the Austin area for over 100 years. "Our survey library is quite amazing,” said Andy Hollon, Principal. “We have records from all over Central Texas dating back 100 years, some of them drafted on linen!”

Concurrent with the acquisition, Loomis moved its offices to 3101 Bee Cave Road to acquire more space. The company has continued to show strong growth even as today's market has slowed. Loomis is projecting record earnings of $6,000,000 for fiscal year 2008. The firm has also recently added national clients like the McCoy's Corporation to an already impressive list of customers.

A Foundation for Innovation

Leveraging over 15 years of experience, Loomis has been a leader and innovator in shaping the way Central Texas is growing.  Since opening its doors in 1993, the company has expanded to over 50 employees with unparalleled expertise in civil engineering, a deeply talented land surveying division, and the most credible and experienced environmental group in the region.

A Firm on the Move

"We have worked with Loomis staff for a number of years and it has been remarkable to see their organization grow and diversify," said Peter French of Plum Creek Development.  "They are definitely becoming a power player in Central Texas and a firm on the move."

New Name, Same Vision

Bill Burnett, director of business development at Loomis, said, "Although we changed our name, we are not changing our principals. We will continue to provide our clients with a unique blend of technical knowledge, common sense and the highest quality professional services."
