Celebrating 25 Years in Business
Atriax Group is celebrating its 25th anniversary: a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction.
What began as a small AE firm out of Hickory, founded by two retired US Air Force civil engineering officers, has grown into thriving company with over 30 employees and a list of projects spanning across the United States.
From our Atriax team to yours, we thank you.
As we reflect on our 25th Anniversary, we have to thank the many partners we have made along the way. Over a quarter of a century, more than 100 teaming partners have played a role in helping us grow our small local firm into the company it is today.
Our experiences, successes, and milestones have been made possible by these strong collaborations with our local and industry partners.
Atriax has come of age and it’s because of you.
Messages from our Co-Founders
Atriax Group got its start on April 1, 2001, when two ex-military friends started a business together in a one-room office, with one computer, one phone and two desks. A quarter of a century later, as we proudly celebrate this milestone, our co-founders George Auten and Ed Henson reflect on what this anniversary means to them and the journey that brought all of us to this momentous accomplishment.
"I’m grateful to those clients who initially took a chance on us. Yes, we had know-how, but no meaningful business experience from which to deliver that know-how." - George R. Auten, Jr., PE, LEED AP
"The end of my Air Force career hit harder than I expected….I missed the people. I missed walking into a room and knowing that everyone there was serving the same mission, chasing the same goal." - Edward H. Henson, AIA, LEED AP
