WINDSOR, Conn. – TRC Companies, Inc.

By taking a location-first approach to problem solving, Locana builds and implements solutions for a broad base of customers, including utilities, telecommunications, commercial, federal and technology.
“With the addition of Locana, TRC becomes one of the leaders with expertise in both proprietary and open-source GIS technologies,” said Christopher Vincze, Chairman and CEO of TRC. “As we continue to build TRC into the top global, technology-forward firm, this acquisition further deepens our ability to provide end-to-end solutions, from advisory to design to asset management and everything in-between.”
With a presence in the U.S., Canada and the UK, Locana further supports TRC’s strategy to expand its technology business across Europe.
“The Locana acquisition is part of our strategy to bolster our digital capabilities and help our clients transform how they operate with innovative mapping and location-based services and solutions,” said Craig Cavanaugh, President of Intelligent Grid Solutions at TRC. “Locana and TRC share common values and a commitment to solving the world’s most pressing challenges.”
