History

HukariAscendent is the result of a merger of two dynamic small businesses: Hukari Technical Services, Inc. (founded in 1999 by Ken Hukari), and Ascendent Engineering and Safety Solutions, LLC. (established in 2005).

HukariAscendent (Hukari) was founded to provide a source of success-oriented professionals offering clients support service advantages at the best value. The company has built a reputation for providing exceptionally high quality technical and professional expertise in a number of specialized areas, with personnel who average more than 25 years specialized experience and hold degrees from top universities, many with advanced industry certifications. Our personnel excel in a dynamic environment requiring thorough and responsive action.

In 2012, HukariAscendent, Inc. created a subsidiary, HukariAscendent Services, LLC, to meet special contracting needs at that time

In 2023, HukariAscendent changedmajority ownership and is now a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) led by Patrice McEahern.  Hukari continues to grow under Patrice’s leadership and is proud to maintain Hukari’s excellent reputation.
