INTRODUCTION It all started with a leading edge, low-energy, solar-powered family home in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1970s. Ravi Maniktala’s passion for sustainable design was evident throughout his residence. This same passion drove his motivation to establish M.E. GROUP. It’s no coincidence that a company of such environmental significance would soon be born in the basement of that ecologically-minded house; and it’s also not a coincidence that every employee who entered through his front door were considered family. Just like a family, the firm has celebrated great milestones together for 25 years. As a pioneer and thought leader, Ravi always promoted “green design” even before it was cool. His personal belief in the power of low-energy design is evidenced in a newspaper article published early in his career where he warned of the consequences resulting from a wasteful approach to building design. While the rest of the world was catching up, Ravi was already providing sustainability solutions. At this milestone anniversary, we are proud to celebrate 25 years in our industry. The M.E. GROUP kind of longevity takes a trusted, well-rounded team full of commitment, strength, and energy. As we reflect on our great history, we recommit ourselves to always be GENUINE in our actions, seek PROGRESSIVE solutions, and tirelessly ADVOCATE for a sustainable future.
