September 21, 2010

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Aug. 26, 2010)— Middough Inc., a top ranking U.S. architectural, engineering and management services company, announces the celebration  of its 60th anniversary. This announcement was made by President and CEO, Ronald R. Ledin, PE.

When William V. Middough first opened the company in 1950, he based it on strong personal values where honesty and trust would be his guide and his word and handshake were as good as gold. These founding values remain true today and are the cornerstone of Middough’s success.

As Middough celebrates its 60th year in business, the company has developed many long-term relationships with its clients over the years. Middough is proud to have its very first client from the metals industry since its doors opened, as a key customer today, as well as many other long-term signature clients. Middough is proud to continue its legacy of being the company known for that special talent and expertise at providing innovation and “know-how” beyond traditional architectural, engineering and construction services.

“Middough has loyal clients and strives to provide each one with the one-on-one attention they so richly deserve,” states Ledin. “While maintaining our focus on expanding our client base, Middough has also invested in development and training, has acquired new technologies, expanded its executive leadership team and has moved into new geographic markets to continue the company’s growth to record levels.”

Middough has been able to diversify by expanding its industry base. As a top company within the industries it serves, Middough has grown to a full-service organization with more than 800 associates and has an integrated network of regional and local offices specializing in delivering complex process and facilities.
