About

History

Thanks for your interest in Grauvogel & Associates. Since 1993 we have been providing experience in safety, health and environmental issues for our clients and a broad variety of projects. For the past 30 years our Principal, Larry Grauvogel, has provided professional engineering and industrial hygiene consulting services to clients in Indiana and southern Michigan in various capacities. We bring to your project a unique blend of environmental engineering, safety analysis, and occupational health hazard recognition, which allows us to not only define the risks, but to design the solutions. Grauvogel & Associates was formed partly out of the notion that BIG is not always better, and from the belief that there is a need for flexible, accurate and responsive consultant services for clients without the in-house staffing to address these areas.

About Our Logo

Tradition and reputation are very important to the Grauvogel name. Most people we deal with agree that it is a hard name to forget, so maintaining the quality of our work at the highest level possible is our first priority. That's why we chose the Grauvogel family Coat-of-Arms as our logo. Grauvogel translates from the German as "gray" (grau) - "bird" (vogel), thus the stylized wings and birds on the crest. This crest dates from 1260 from the German province of Bavaria, where the Grauvogels originated. There is a family tree tracing our origins back to 1690 in Bavaria. We are aware of only two family lines in North America. Nicolaus Grauvogel, patriarch of the Cincinnati line, of which we are a part, came to America in 1881 as a blacksmith, an engineer of his day. There is a proud family tradition of honesty and hard work behind our name, which we offer our clients and plan to pass to the next generation.
