What CME Engineering does

The firm in the source data is Apex Companies, LLC, a privately held national consulting and engineering firm headquartered at 2101 Gaither Rd, Suite 500, Rockville, Maryland (the firmographics reference 'CME Engineering' in Greensburg but do not match the website, customer, and product data, which uniformly describe Apex Companies). Apex delivers integrated services across five core practice areas — Water, Environmental, Health & Safety, Infrastructure, and Compliance & Assurance — supplemented by ARTEMIS®, a registered, trademarked environmental data management and compliance platform that is customized per client and deployed across business units for enterprise customers (notably a major retailer and a Department of Transportation managing 600+ stormwater facilities).

The business operates through direct enterprise field sales and a national network of offices serving both public-sector and private-sector clients. Revenue derives from professional-services engagements (consulting, engineering, assessments, training) and a recurring/subscription component from the ARTEMIS® software platform. Customer evidence spans at least 11 verticals including aerospace, education, energy, e-commerce/retail, food & beverage, healthcare, industrial/manufacturing, mineral resources, public sector, real estate and financial services, telecommunications, and transportation/logistics, with multi-year enterprise programs (e.g., an automotive environmental compliance audit since 2016).

The company is recognized as a 2026 Hot Firm by Zweig Group in the AEC industry and markets through its corporate website, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, an email newsletter, and a dedicated ARTEMIS® client portal. No revenue, headcount, funding rounds, M&A activity, parent company, or named leadership team is disclosed in the source material, which limits financial benchmarking.
