Over the last four years, Hargrove & Associates Inc. has expanded throughout the region. The Alabama-based contractor has opened four full-service offices in Louisiana and Texas alone. New locations include Lake Charles, La., in 2018; Angleton, Texas, in 2017; Port Arthur, Texas, in early 2016; and Houston in 2014.

Since its founding in 1995 in Mobile, Hargrove’s strategy has been client driven; each of the new office launches was determined by existing clients—most of them in the industrial process, petroleum and power sectors—who asked Hargrove to bring its services to their area.
