What our clients say
“Birdon’s management team continues to demonstrate professionalism, expertise, and experience in boat design and manufacturing. Communication within the organization and with the customer is rapid, responsive and effective… Birdon’s management team performs exceptionally well, remains customer focused, and interacts effectively with the U.S. Government.”
“I can tell you that for the past several years I have continually told people that the absolute best acquisition that the Engineer Regiment has had since I’ve been here (12 years) has been the bridge erection boat. By every metric – cost, schedule, performance, materiel release, manuals, fielding, quality… I always hold you up as an example of what right looks like.”
