A Brief History

1985

In 1985 FSE began operations as a mechanical contractor in southwest Ohio with one of its first project being an extensive laboratory remodel project in the private sector.

1985

1985 found this laboratory experience leading FSE south to The Centers for Disease Control where we combined laboratory remodel work at CDC with an Air Force Delivery Order Contract at Dobbins AFB. Remodel work continued for both clients.

1987

FSE opened the operation and maintenance door with CDC on its newly constructed Virology Laboratory. CDC continues to be FSE's oldest client. Today FSE operates CDC laboratories in Ohio and Georgia at six project sites.

1994

This year brought on another growth spurt. This time we returned to the Air Force, but at Wright Patterson AFB instead of Dobbins AFB. We peaked at 130 employees at this single WPAFB R&D Laboratory O&M and construction site in 1998. We operated and maintained 8,000 pieces of equipment in 150 buildings, all with an FSE designed preventative maintenance program.

1999

This year broadened our client base to add USDA and G. E. to our client base that already included: CDC, IRS, U. S. Army Corps of engineers, DSCC, and DFAS.

2000-
2001

Then in 2000 and 2001, EPA and the Ohio National Guard were added, along with the Ohio Schools Facility Commission and the Ohio State University.

2004

The US Navy chose FSE to operate, maintain and repair its SPAWAR Laboratory Facilities in Charleston, SC.

2005

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in concert with GSA chose FSE to operate, maintain and repair its new operations center in Suitland, MD. While we would like to state that our history is the result of the application of great skill, vision, and foresight, we must admit to the truth that our success has resulted from grace and walking through doors of opportunity as they opened.
