FORT WASHINGTON, PA, April 1, 2016 – McMahon Associates, Inc., a transportation engineering and planning firm, today announced the launch of a year-long celebration of the firm’s 40th anniversary. Started on the kitchen table at Joe & Peggy McMahon’s home in North Hills, PA, on April 1 in 1976, the firm has grown to 13 offices in 6 states along the East Coast with 150+ employees.

“When we sat down that day in 1976 and decided to go for it, we had no idea that forty years later we would be celebrating this incredible milestone,” said Joe McMahon, Chairman of the Board of McMahon Associates, Inc. “We started with the idea of creating a place that was great to work at. We have always focused on our people being our most valuable asset, along with sticking to our mission of providing exceptional client service. This has been the secret to our success and longevity.”

“This year is certainly a special one for everyone at McMahon,” said Joseph DeSantis, President of McMahon Associates, Inc. “I’ve been with the firm for nearly 30 years and I’m proud of our adaptability and tenacity in this always changing industry. When McMahon was originally founded, we focused on traffic services for the private sector, but over these past decades our services, and geographic areas, have grown exponentially into multiple markets and the public sector, which is now the majority of our projects.

We have truly morphed, through careful decision-making and strategic planning, into a full-service transportation engineering and planning company. We could not have accomplished this without the talents and dedication of our employees and our management team.”
