Design and consulting firm WSB has announced the acquisition of Poly, Inc., a long-standing engineering and architecture outfit headquartered in Dothan, Alabama.
The agreement expands WSB’s operational reach across the Southeast and Gulf Coast. Operating from more than 50 offices with over 1,800 staff nationwide, WSB serves government, commercial and infrastructure sectors.
Poly maintains additional offices in Birmingham, Alabama, and Shalimar, Florida. The firm provides specialist expertise in civil and environmental engineering, architecture, hydrogeological and geological services, and federal facility design. Its portfolio features the design of more than 130 military training ranges both in the US and abroad.
Through the transaction, WSB aims to enhance its municipal, environmental and federal design platform, strengthening support for public-sector clients handling growth, regulatory and infrastructure demands.
“The acquisition of Poly represents a strategic investment in the continued growth of WSB’s municipal, environmental, and federal design capabilities,” said Bret Weiss, president and chief executive officer of WSB. “Poly is widely respected for its technical excellence, responsive client service, and community-centered approach to architecture and engineering. Their expertise complements our existing services and strengthens our ability to deliver integrated infrastructure and facility solutions for our clients. Just as important, our two firms share a common set of values—partnership, integrity, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the communities we serve.”
Poly was established in 1959 as a quality-focused engineering and design consultancy.
“Joining WSB marks an exciting next chapter for Poly,” said Bruce Bradley, president of Poly. “Since 1959, Poly has believed that quality engineering and design, guided by strong client relationships, can make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve. Partnering with WSB allows us to build on that foundation while offering our clients access to broader resources and integrated expertise. For our staff, this partnership creates new opportunities for growth, collaboration, and long-term career development within a like-minded organization.”
