To better serve current and future clients by providing in-depth diversity of services and geographical markets, CSA pursues synergistic relationships with other companies through partnerships, joint ventures and mentor-protégé relationships. We endeavor to identify, develop and cultivate long term relationships with companies with similar goals and values to enhance CSA’s value to clients, providing win-win results to the partner companies and the clients.

Partnerships/Joint Ventures/Strategic Alliances

As the largest Hispanic-owned firm in our industry in the U.S., CSA offers unique advantages and opportunities to current and potential partners. Key wins for our partners include:

• Access to the expanding and profitable Caribbean and Latin American market through our San Juan and Miami offices
• Presence, leverage and credibility to key US markets with large and influential Hispanic populations
• Addition to the team’s portfolio of 50 years of project experience in the multiple markets and areas served by CSA
• Inclusion in their teams of an established, minority-owned technical firm with a long history of solid results

CSA has participated in strategic alliances with major industry companies, as well as local firms, to the tune of over $2 Billion (total Installed Costs) in on going or completed Capital Improvement Projects in the US, the Caribbean and Latin America.

CSA Mentor/Protégé Program

As both a way to contribute to our industry and expand our services, CSA initiated its own Mentor-Protégé Program (MPP) to assist other minority companies in the engineering field and related businesses. CSA’s Mentor/Protégé Program is a private program, based upon the Federal model, designed to enhance the capabilities of our small business partners by improving their ability to successfully compete and effectively execute government and private industry contracts.

The goals of this Program are:

• Extend CSA’s technical and business assistance to small disadvantaged businesses
• Enhance the ability of these businesses to perform as subcontractors on federal / private projects
• Enable these businesses to serve as prime contractors and widen their reach into more markets
• Further develop CSA’s own business relationships and initiatives with proven partners

One on going success story is our program with Ang Associates, Inc.; a small minority-owned engineering business concern located in Philadelphia, PA.
