Orange County, CA — TAIT & Associates, a nationally recognized engineering and consulting firm, is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Fiedler Group, led by Patrick Fiedler, a respected engineering firm founded in 1957 with a long-standing reputation as a leader in energy and fueling infrastructure.
Fiedler Group brings decades of experience designing complex alternative and traditional fueling systems and supporting energy-sector clients across the United States. The acquisition strengthens TAIT’s capabilities in civil engineering, permitting, and infrastructure delivery while expanding its depth in fueling systems, energy projects, and emerging technologies.
The relationship between TAIT and Fiedler Group spans generations. Patrick Fiedler’s father, Fred Fiedler, and TAIT’s founder, Ken Tait, were close friends, and Fred played an instrumental role in TAIT’s early history—signing Ken Tait’s California Professional Engineering license as a reference and entrusting TAIT with some of its earliest projects. That shared history underscores the alignment between the two firms and the respect TAIT holds for the legacy Fiedler Group has built.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Fiedler Group to TAIT,” said Trevor Tait, CEO, TAIT & Associates. “Fiedler has earned an outstanding reputation over decades for technical excellence, integrity, and leadership in the energy and fueling space. There is deep respect on our side for what Patrick and his team have built.”
Patrick Fiedler, President of Fiedler Group, added, “TAIT is the right long-term home for the Fiedler Group legacy. There is a deep history between our families and our firms, and just as importantly, a shared commitment to quality, integrity, and client service. This transition gives our clients access to a broader platform and expanded capabilities offered by TAIT, while preserving the relationships and technical expertise that have defined Fiedler Group for decades.”
The Fiedler Group will continue on within TAIT, reflecting the firm’s established presence in the energy sector and its role in supporting complex fueling and infrastructure projects. Clients can expect continuity across all active projects, with no disruption to service or communication.
This acquisition marks another step in TAIT’s continued growth and investment in specialized expertise to support evolving infrastructure and energy needs nationwide.
