Southland Industries Completes Brand Consolidation of The Brandt Companies

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Southland Industries today announced the completion of a brand consolidation with its Texas-based subsidiary, The Brandt Companies, unifying operations under the Southland Industries name.

“This isn’t a rebrand. It’s a true integration and a natural conclusion of how we already operate,” said Ted Lynch, Ph.D., CEO of Southland Industries.

Since acquiring Brandt in 2022, the companies have operated with integrated functions and shared capabilities, serving customers across multiple markets and locations. Now, under a unified name, this consolidation aligns the company’s brand with how the business already operates, further supporting customers with deeper resources, combined expertise, and cross-functional teams.

“This isn’t a rebrand. It’s a true integration and a natural conclusion of how we already operate,” said Ted Lynch, Ph.D., CEO of Southland Industries. “Brandt and Southland have been delivering work as one integrated team, so unifying under the Southland Industries name makes that clear to our customers, and creates a single, national platform built on shared capabilities, knowledge, systems, and resources.”

Craig Whaley will continue to lead Southland across the central region in his role as Regional President. “This transition is an exciting step forward for our teams and the markets we serve,” said Craig Whaley. “For our customers, this change brings greater access and clarity to everything Southland offers. The same teams and relationships remain in place, but are now enhanced by a single national brand.”

This consolidation completes the final phase of Brandt’s integration into Southland Industries.
