Company
Overview
Evolved into a global powerhouse blending engineering, architecture, construction, and equipment services into cohesive solutions.
From tobacco barns to mega-projects, the company’s rise reflects its knack for pivoting—absorbing design-build, automation, and digital services under one roof.
Gray engineers complex facilities—semiconductor fabs, advanced battery plants, food and beverage processing sites, data centers, and distribution hubs—by integrating systems early for agile design and execution.
Their projects range from carbon-neutral distilleries and bourbon mash-houses to Amazon logistics centers, Mercedes-Benz assembly lines, Qcells battery parks, and Kraft Heinz plants.
A tapestry of sister brands—Gray AES, Gray Solutions, InLine Engineers, Anderson Dahlen, AD Process Equipment, and NexGen—gives the company depth in automation, specialty fabrication, and real estate.
Unique among general contractors, Gray builds its own process equipment and embeds engineering teams on projects, enabling mid-stream design pivots and tightly coordinated execution.
The company’s blend of family culture, integrated services, and global reach makes it both nimble and reliable on projects that demand innovation and scale.
