AFRY in the United States

AFRY began its journey in North America in 1966 in Menasha, WI as the former Marathon Engineers, Architects, Planners, LLC, an employee-owned company focused on rebuild projects in the pulp and paper sector. Jaakko Pöyry acquired the company in 1991, bringing extensive global knowledge and experience to Marathon clients.
