In a momentous shift that marks the beginning of a new chapter for Johnson Engineering, our firm has been acquired by Apex Companies, a national leader in consulting and engineering services.

In August 2024, Apex Companies finalized the purchase of Johnson Engineering. This acquisition represents a pivotal moment in our company’s history and presents exciting new opportunities for both our team and our valued clients.

Throughout the last 78 years, Johnson Engineering has grown to be one of the oldest and most prominent civil engineering firms in Southwest Florida. We began in 1946 when Carl E. Johnson, P.L.S., acquired the records of a local engineering and surveying company owned by Harry K. Davison, P.E., a well-known engineer in the Southwest Florida community since the early 1900s. Through the years, the company transformed into a multi-disciplined civil engineering firm and even acquired Marco Surveying & Mapping, a Naples, Florida based company, to enhance the firm’s surveying services.

It was this rich history with decades of successful projects, a strong reputation, and unmatched employee tenure which drew Apex to want to combine forces to build an even stronger presence throughout the southeastern United States.

We didn’t make this decision lightly; we carefully chose Apex as our partner because their values and principles align with ours. We deeply value the well-being and stability of our team and have always been committed to keeping our staff and clients at the heart of what we do. With Apex Companies, we’ve found a partner whose vision and goals resonate with our own. Apex is a people-first, family-oriented firm that genuinely respects our team and our culture. Their goal is to integrate our strengths to broaden the range of services we offer, allowing us to provide even more comprehensive solutions to our clients. This alignment of values and commitment to maintaining our successful operations makes this partnership an exciting and natural evolution for Johnson Engineering.

Apex was established in 1988 and is a national multidisciplinary consulting and engineering services firm with a broad portfolio that includes water, environmental services, compliance and assurance, health and safety, and transportation and civil services. Apex is known for its technical expertise, rapid response, and exceptional client satisfaction, boasting impressive rankings such as #12 among ENR All-Environmental firms and #58 in the Top 200 overall.

This union brings together the strengths of Johnson Engineering and Apex, alongside Apex’s recent acquisition of Water Science Associates. The combined expertise of these firms offers unparalleled depth and breadth in services, reinforcing our long-standing presence in Florida and enhancing our ability to serve both public and private markets.

For our clients, this acquisition translates into enhanced capabilities and a broader range of services. The integration with Apex Companies means that Johnson Engineering will now have access to an expanded suite of technical resources and industry-leading expertise. We are excited about the new opportunities this partnership presents and are committed to maintaining the high standards of service and quality that have defined our work for decades.

Our team remains dedicated to providing innovative solutions and exceptional outcomes, and we are confident that our alliance with Apex will only strengthen our ability to meet and exceed your expectations.

As we embark on this new journey with Apex Companies, we remain focused on delivering the excellence and client satisfaction that have been hallmarks of Johnson Engineering. We look forward to leveraging our combined strengths to support your projects and goals more effectively than ever before.

We thank our clients for their continued support and partnership. We are excited about the future and the opportunities it holds for us all. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue with our same great team to evolve and enhance our services under the Apex umbrella.
