The Nassal Company

What The Nassal Company does

The Nassal Company, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, is a specialty construction and fabrication firm that designs, engineers, fabricates, and installs immersive themed environments for entertainment, hospitality, cultural, and gaming operators. Its service portfolio spans Design/Build, Custom Fabrication, Rockwork, Custom Millwork, Architectural Metals, Scenic Paint Treatments, Preconstruction Support, and Faux Trees, executed from a 116,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Orlando fabrication facility and a West Coast office in Glendale, California.

Technically, Nassal's differentiators center on proprietary scenic and structural methods — pioneering scenic panel technologies for ice/glacial effects at SeaWorld's Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, structural shotcrete-based rockwork engineering, and material-replication millwork (e.g., wood finishes that visually mimic concrete or metal). These capabilities are delivered through an integrated design/build methodology in which designers, engineers, fabricators, and installers operate as one in-house team, eliminating handoff gaps on complex themed projects.

The company generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced design/build contracts with enterprise clients, with no public pricing tiers. Its customer base is concentrated among major North American theme park operators (Universal, Disney, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, LEGOLAND), aquariums and zoos (Georgia Aquarium, Jacksonville Zoo, Zoo Miami), resorts and casinos (Loews, Harrah's Cherokee, Atlantis Paradise Island, Four Seasons), and museums/cultural venues (Kennedy Space Center, Motorsports Hall of Fame). Nassal operates as a 100% employee-owned subsidiary within the PCL family of companies and owns the nFusion project delivery solutions subsidiary.
