Unparalleled Expertise Under One Roof

Gray AES brings together years of knowledge and insights from Gray AE, Gray Solutions, and InLine Engineers, creating a truly integrated professional services organization to deliver value, efficiency, and the ultimate customer experience.

Our History

In the early ‘80s, Franklin Gray joined the family business as Gray’s first formally trained and licensed architect. In the four decades since, design has proven to be an integral pillar of Gray’s business. Forged as the leading edge of Gray’s design-build approach, Gray AE has delivered innovative solutions and an integrated team philosophy. The company’s creative identity and collaborative methods are written across Gray’s history and exemplified in many of our best projects, from integrated pork processing for Clemens Food Group to solar module assembly for Qcells. Through these design capabilities, Gray earned its status as a forward-thinking firm committed to our customers from project conception through final commissioning.

Naturally, having a deeply embedded team from the outset of a project led to increased opportunities to strengthen relationships with customers, better understand their needs, and explore new ways to solve their problems. With the addition of InLine Engineers and Gray Solutions to the Gray family of companies, we took our design-build excellence a step further with services that improved project quality at all phases and provided greater flexibility and operational efficiency for our customers.

Gray AES is the evolution of a collaborative legacy—bringing together the expertise of Gray AE, Gray Solutions, and InLine Engineers. Our roots extend beyond architecture, encompassing engineering and automation as core pillars of our business. Originally operating as separate entities, we have come together to offer a fully integrated approach to design, engineering, and automation solutions. Today, we serve customers across diverse markets, driving innovation and efficiency.
