NEW YORK, July 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vidaris, Inc. affiliate, IBA Holdings, LLC, (Vidaris) announced today that it has acquired Synergen Consulting International, LLC (Synergen).  Vidaris is a leading A/E/C consultancy for building envelope, energy efficiency, specialty engineering, dispute resolution, code compliance, and construction administration.  Synergen is a leading expert consultancy in forensic and risk analysis, claims and litigation consulting, and international arbitration.  The partnership will significantly broaden both practices and expand Vidaris’ footprint into the Southwestern U.S.  Synergen will operate as a business unit of Vidaris under the continuing leadership of its President, Bryan Byrd. 

“Today is an exciting day for Vidaris and Synergen, and for our respective clients around the world,” said Marc Weissbach, Vidaris Chief Executive Officer.  “Beyond the compelling benefits that this transaction creates for the firms we serve and our employees, the combination of Vidaris and Synergen is evidence of our commitment to building an integrated technical services delivery platform, operating globally, with superior capabilities in dispute resolution, litigation, and expert witness support.  Synergen also deepens our existing position in the energy, power, and government services markets.  We are pleased to welcome all members of the Synergen team to our organization.”
