We’re excited to share that MBTA member Sargent has acquired E.L. Vining & Son, Inc. of Farmington. The acquisition was completed on October 31, 2025, and supports Sargent’s long-term growth as the company approaches its 100th anniversary in 2026.

E.L. Vining & Son, founded in 1956, is known for its quality work, integrity, and community commitment. Their expertise in DOT, sitework, utility, and landfill projects aligns well with Sargent’s core services, making this a natural and strategic fit.

“This acquisition brings together two Maine-based companies that share a deep respect for people, craftsmanship, and community,” said Eric Ritchie, President & CEO of Sargent Corporation. “E.L. Vining & Son’s culture mirrors our own, rooted in doing the right thing, honing our craft, and investing in people and winning in the field. We’re excited to welcome their talented team of professionals into employee-ownership and continue serving the communities of Western and Central Maine with even greater resources.”

As part of the transition, the Farmington office will become Sargent’s Western Maine hub, and roughly 40 Vining employees will join the Sargent team as employee-owners through Sargent’s ESOP. All current projects will continue uninterrupted, and the acquisition brings additional equipment and aggregate resources across Maine.

Congratulations to Sargent and welcome to the Vining team!
