Primera Engineers (Primera), a leading multidisciplinary engineering firm headquartered in Chicago, IL, has acquired Denver-based Corey Electrical Engineering, Inc. (Corey). This strategic move marks a significant milestone for both companies and reinforces Primera’s commitment to growth.
The acquisition of Corey represents the union of two dynamic woman-owned firms. Both Primera and Corey share core values centered around people, collaboration, and client-focused solutions. With a strong presence in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, Primera has consistently demonstrated its ability to tackle complex engineering challenges. Now, with the addition of Corey’s team, we are excited to extend our reach into the western United States.
“We are thrilled to welcome the talented team from Corey to our Buildings division,” explains Erin Inman, President & CEO of Primera. “Our shared commitment to client satisfaction makes this partnership a natural fit. Together, I’m confident we will create lasting impact.”
“Joining forces with Primera is an exciting new chapter for Corey,” explains former Corey President & Owner Anne Stilson-Cope. “The most important factor for me was finding a partner that would continue to care for our people, and we found that in Primera. This creates wonderful opportunities for Corey employees and clients alike.”
Stilson-Cope joins Primera as Vice President and Sr. Director of Business Development. Corey will continue to operate under the Corey Electrical Engineering name operating within Primera’s Buildings division as we integrate the two firms in the coming months.
