Fastening the Rust Belt

Langan Puts Expert Pieces in Place in the Midwest

Reshoring manufacturing in the U.S. will not take place on the coasts. Most of the resurgence should reanimate the so-called Rust Belt, which ranges from Wisconsin to Upstate New York, encompassing large swaths of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Western Pennsylvania. In anticipation of the economic upswing in those states, Langan has locked in talent to support clients in a variety of sectors.

Recent hires include environmental experts in cities such as Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Indianapolis, as well as in locations that are fully integrated with established Langan offices, such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Chicago. The firm is well-positioned to support manufacturing projects throughout the region with multiple services, including environmental due diligence, site selection, and PFAS consulting.

“Throughout its history, Langan has supported corporate clients big and small and all the companies in their respective supply chains,” said Joe Good, Principal in charge of Langan’s Chicago office. “Our expansion strategy in the Midwest is to provide proven professionals with career opportunities to join Langan and grow their practices within our entrepreneurial culture.”

That’s precisely what is happening with key additions like Jeff Ramey (Milwaukee) and Andrew Horwath (Indianapolis), among others. These environmental engineers bring their industry reputations and experience to Langan and, in turn, Langan provides valuable counsel to clients seeking local knowledge backed by the powerful resources of a national firm.
