Hear from Previous Owners

“At Sciens you realize that their value systems are more about how you care about your community, how you care about the people around you, how you contribute to society, how you care about your customers, how you concern yourself with your employee issues, how you find the way to meet all of those things and grow as a person and grow as a company.”

Chuck Rizzo

“My favorite part of working at Sciens is having the ability to be able to interact with other likeminded peers, to have those resources where you can go and you can lean on when you’re running into a problem and knowing that you have the depth on the bench to be able to pull from it at any point in time.”

Derrick Mitchell

“That’s the main reason we went with Sciens. I wanted to see the growth. I want to see this double, triple, whatever we need to do. Again, with the background, we get the right people in place with the same vision to move it forward. I want to see the same growth; we started as little seeds that have grown into blossoms.”

Duane Hannasch

“All the sudden there were upward mobility opportunities for our people that they might not have had before. It is just very infectious to see that high energy level; everybody’s enjoying themselves. All that comradery and that team spirit is still there, post-acquisition. It’s great. It has had a huge impact on my personal life and Sciens gave me the ability to do that. It’s been awesome.”

Tim McGee

“We viewed Sciens as an excellent partner for WSA and are proud to have been the first company to join the platform. We believe that Sciens provides us with resources and capabilities that enhance our ability to serve our customers and grow our operations. This partnership has exceeded its expectations in terms of creating exciting opportunities for WSA’s employees and customers.”

Brad Golub

“I have known Terry Heath for many years as he has always been a very well-regarded executive in the fire industry. I was excited to work with him and become part of Sciens Building Solutions, as we sought to further grow the W.W. Gay business in Jacksonville.”

Nandu Paryani

“With our ethos focused on people, quality and customer service, we feel strongly that we have built an amazing company here at Sabah International. We believe becoming part of Sciens has further reinforced our core beliefs and mission, plus provided new opportunities to Sabah employees.”

Matt Ramsey

“Sciens’ and its affiliated companies’ solid technical expertise and comprehensive building solutions, combined with ESS’s capabilities, has empowered us to develop broader offerings for the important tri-state area. We are excited to continue to grow together under the Sciens platform and look forward to continuing to provide excellent customer service to our valuable current and prospective clients, as well as our talented employees.”

John Mitchell

“Sciens’ strong market experience and operational expertise combined with our capabilities and relationships will enhance our ability to serve our loyal customers and new clients. We are already recognized as a provider of choice by our existing customer base, and we are excited to leverage this position, as well as Sciens’ institutional knowledge and capabilities to pursue continued market penetration and growth together.”
