What Is International Services, LLC does

IS International Services, LLC is a privately held, women-owned (WBENC-certified) professional engineering and industrial systems integration firm headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia, in continuous operation since 1997. The firm delivers turnkey design-build industrial automation projects spanning PLC, HMI, SCADA, and DCS configuration and commissioning; electrical design and plant modeling (2D/3D); custom control panel design and fabrication (UL508A/CSA-certified, including hazardous-location enclosures, at a capacity of over 100 panels per year); legacy system migration; MES and cloud integration; and computerized control system validation for FDA/GMP-regulated environments. Platform-agnostic expertise across major OEM control systems (Siemens, Rockwell, ABB, Mitsubishi, Schneider) underpins the technical offering, with documented depth in Siemens platforms (PCS7, S7-1500, WinCC, ProfiNet/Profibus) reinforced by internal PCS7 training and the firm's 2019 Siemens Woman-Owned Partner of the Year recognition.

The firm operates a project-based professional services revenue model under cost-plus, fixed-price, turn-key, and time-and-materials contract structures, with each client assigned a dedicated relationship manager coordinating across internal competency centers. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by a website, LinkedIn presence, YouTube channel, and a Workable-hosted careers page. The customer base is entirely enterprise and government, including Johnson & Johnson, Alcon, Ethicon, Bayer, Siemens Energy, Siemens Digital, ABB, Exxon Mobil, General Mills, Georgia Power, Talen Energy, Ethos Energy, Wood Group, Air Liquide, Mitsubishi, GAF, UPS, US Department of Veteran Affairs, and Western Area Power Administration, served across seven primary verticals: Life Sciences, Consumer Products, Food & Beverage, Water & Wastewater Treatment, Municipal & Government, General Manufacturing, and Energy & Power. Over 90% of work for the past 27 years has been delivered as turnkey design-build, and the firm cites over 170 years of combined engineering experience on its bench.

The firm supplements human engineering with AI-based tooling in two specific workflows: legacy system migration (AI-assisted under quality control) and computerized control system validation documentation (human-based and AI-assisted authoring for FDA compliance). Proprietary automation is also deployed internally to accelerate panel design and engineering execution. Headcount is reported at 51-100 employees, and project footprints referenced in company materials include a $180 million greenfield medical device manufacturing facility in Athens, Georgia, and a thin-film deposition crystal production facility in Portland.
