Portland, Oregon – January 20, 2020 – Kleinschmidt Associates, an engineering, regulatory, and environmental consulting firm with a focus on renewable energy and ten offices across North America has joined forces with R2 Resource Consultants. With principal offices in Redmond and Vancouver, Washington, R2 Resource Consultants has established an industry-leading reputation for services in fisheries and aquatic science, fish passage and hatchery facilities, ecology, and water resource engineering services across the Pacific Northwest region.
R2 founders Dudley Reiser and Michael Ramey stated “Of utmost concern for us in joining a new organization was ensuring that our people and specialties we market to would be appreciated. We also wanted to preserve the warm, friendly, and family-feel style that we believe was somewhat unique to R2. Throughout this journey, we’ve come to learn that Kleinschmidt’s philosophy is 
almost identical!”
“The joining of our two companies will double the depth of staff in the Pacific Northwest, and with our complementary client bases, set the stage for continued success and growth in the region”, says Jon Christensen, CEO of Kleinschmidt, “We are thrilled to join forces and look forward to providing clients with the expanded technical expertise for their projects”.
