Fina III, Aztech Technologies has grown from a small five-person firm to a full-service environmental firm of engineers, geologists, scientists, hydrogeologists, drillers and technical field professionals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Known for its ability to provide cost effective solutions to complex environmental problems, Aztech clients will now benefit from additional services under the LaBella brand, such as wetlands, urban redevelopment, and solid waste services, company officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> \u201cClearly there is a lot of synergy in our engineering and environmental services, but we found that culturally we also are closely aligned with LaBella, sharing the same commitment to the environment, along with a passion for our people, communities and clients,\u201d said Fina. \u201cWe are excited to join forces to provide a broader spectrum of expertise to our clients throughout the Capital Region and beyond.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> LaBella has two offices in Delmar.

Fina will continue to lead the location. Passaretti is retiring after nearly 30 years in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">LaBella has grown from its initial entrepreneurial roots in 1978 to a full-service firm with more than 800 employees across more than 20 offices.
