What GMP does

GMP (Global Management Partners) is a privately held Owner's Engineering firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Greer, South Carolina, with a Houston, Texas regional office and a Greenville, SC operations site. The firm delivers project development, project execution, and site services for capital projects through an Integrated Project Management Team (IPMT) model that embeds its professionals as an extension of the client's in-house organization. GMP reports more than $12 billion in successful project delivery since founding, with its president Price Howard personally overseeing $6 billion of that value.

The firm's service portfolio spans front-end engineering design (FEED) and process development, project and construction management, procurement and contract management, commissioning, and on-site staffing/alliance arrangements. It serves three primary verticals: Energy & Energy Transition (oil and gas, biofuels, renewable natural gas, sustainable aviation fuel, methanol, advanced plastics recycling, battery raw materials); Data Centers & Advanced Manufacturing (AI/hyperscale data centers, defense manufacturing, EVs, advanced materials); and Process & Industrial (pulp and paper, polyester fiber and film, specialty chemicals, cleanroom/cGMP facilities). Customer logos include BMW Brilliance, Oshkosh Defense, Georgia-Pacific, International Paper, Indorama Ventures, Mitsubishi Polyester Film, 5C Data Centers, MycoWorks, and Fiber Industries.

GMP generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based engagements with enterprise capital project owners, with no publicly disclosed pricing or rate card. The firm sells through direct enterprise field sales targeting Fortune 500 industrial, energy, and advanced-manufacturing buyers, without resellers or channel partners. In August 2023 GMP acquired Koch Project Solutions for an undisclosed amount as its principal inorganic growth move, and senior leadership (President Howard, Partner Jay Alexander, CFO Frank Hardy, VP Operations John Alexander, EVP Manuel Junco) brings prior tenures at Jacobs, Bechtel, Fluor, Mustang Engineering, and Day & Zimmerman.
