What Evergreen Engineering does

Evergreen Engineering, Inc. is a privately held, multi-discipline industrial engineering firm founded in 1985 and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, with additional offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Everett, Washington. The firm delivers consulting, design, and construction engineering services across mechanical, civil/structural, electrical and controls, environmental, chemical, biomass energy, RNG/biogas, substation, mining, and field services disciplines. Engagements span the full project lifecycle — feasibility, preliminary engineering, capital estimates, detail engineering, process design, environmental permitting, purchasing, project management, commissioning, and start-up assistance — delivered principally via time-and-materials or fixed-price professional services contracts.

Evergreen primarily serves industrial operators in biomass energy, forest and building products (sawmills, LVL, CLT, MDF, particleboard, plywood, OSB), chemical and resin manufacturing, mining and minerals, agrifiber, and specialty metals, with additional work for colleges and universities. Named enterprise clients include Georgia-Pacific, Weyerhaeuser, Roseburg, Swiss Krono, Katerra, Weyerhaeuser, CalPlant I LLC, Usibelli Coal, Thompson River Co-Gen, Snowflake White Mountain Power, Agilyx, Columbia BioGas, Dynamis, Green Lane Energy, Bridge Lane Capital, and FM Global. The firm has acted as Engineer of Record on first-of-a-kind projects including the world's first rice straw-to-MDF plant (CalPlant, $150M EPC / $6M engineering scope) and holds one registered patent on a stepped-deck screening machine.

The firm operates an enterprise field-sales motion under a Co-CEO leadership structure (Danielle Daniels as Co-CEO/Director of Operations & Finance; Justin Price, PE as Co-CEO) with principals (Jeff Rice, PE; Cody Kenny, PE; Alicia Gibson, PE) embedded at client facilities and managing offices. Marketing is concentrated in trade publications (Biomass Magazine, Pellet Mill Magazine), podcast appearances, LinkedIn, and a project-focused blog. The firm is funded entirely through owner operations with no disclosed outside investment, parent company, or funding rounds.
