MacKay Sposito is pleased to announce the acquisition of 2IM Group, a multidisciplinary  engineering and environmental services firm recognized for its expertise in program management, environmental services, and infrastructure support based in Chicago, IL.

The acquisition reflects MacKay Sposito’s continued focus on intentional growth, expanding geographic reach, and building long-term value for clients, employees, and the communities it serves.

“This acquisition represents a significant and intentional step in our growth strategy,” said Derrick Smith, CEO of MacKay Sposito. “Since launching our growth plan last year, we’ve been focused on expanding our reach in a way that strengthens our capabilities while staying true to our values. 2IM Group brings deep technical expertise, strong client relationships, and a people-first culture that aligns closely with who we are as a firm. Expanding into the Midwest allows us to better serve our clients and communities while continuing to build a strong, values-driven organization.”

Luis Montgomery, President of 2IM Group, said the decision to join MacKay Sposito was solidified by alignment with long-term visions and shared values.

“We were very thoughtful about what the future should look like for 2IM Group,” Montgomery said. “Finding the right partner was about alignment, not just growth. MacKay Sposito shares our commitment to relationships, technical excellence, and delivering value to clients. This partnership positions 2IM Group for long-term success while allowing us to continue serving our clients with the same level of care and expertise they expect.”

2IM Group will continue operating under its current brand during the integration period, with plans for future brand alignment to be communicated at a later date. Montgomery will remain in a leadership role, and existing project teams and client relationships will continue without disruption.
