KOMA structural engineer Matthew Van Hoof, PE, said, “One of the reasons this partnership has worked so well is that KOMA and Albert J. Lauer, Inc. are so similar. We both offer high-end, detail-oriented services with an eye toward meeting customer needs, but we both also appreciate the need for structures that meet environmental needs and stand the test of time.”
Albert J. Lauer, Inc., builds custom greenhouse structures for garden centers, growers, research facilities and educational institutions. KOMA assists by providing engineering drawings and calculations among other services for projects located throughout the United States and Canada.
