OAC | Who We Are

A look at OAC over the years:

1950s

In 1955, OAC was founded by Richard M. Tracey and Gerald R. Brunstrom under the name Tracey & Brunstrom. In 1959, Robert Dudley joined "Dick" Tracey and Gerry Brunstrom to create Tracey, Brunstrom, & Dudley. During this time, the company was located in Seattle at lower Queen Anne on 3rd Avenue North. The company's work during the 1950s was primarily in the private sector and was focused in the forest products and aerospace industries.

OAC's expertise in the forest products industry led to work throughout the Western U.S., Western Canada, Greece, and Romania-and to the opening of a branch office in London, England.
