Over one hundred years ago, engineering excellence was firmly established by Sidney & William Bowne. Today, with three affiliated companies, the multi-disciplined organization continues to provide exceptional service.

Bowne AE&T Group is at the forefront of developing innovative engineering and information technology solutions for federal, municipal, and private clients. One of the reasons for the firm's great success is a dedicated staff of individuals that have a long history working with the firm.

The firm looks forward to meeting our clients’ challenges in the new millennium.
