Why SSOE Group?

Named among the top four automotive design firms in the U.S. by Engineering News Record in 2010, SSOE’s professionals have a test track resume that is unparalleled. Our veteran’s perspective of test track design and construction allows us to develop solutions that are unique to your facility’s location, criteria, and performance objectives.

When it comes to enhanced performance, SSOE is dedicated to the ongoing development of the 3D surface and utility modeling software programs that you need to run successful test track projects. These programs accelerate the process of going from concept to finished product, while optimizing construction costs.

That dedication distinguishes SSOE from other firms. Our decades of industry expertise are critical to the success of every assembly plant and test track we engineer and build. In fact, during the last 10 years we have designed over 50% of the automotive assembly plants in the U.S. Our expert understanding of track surfaces and the techniques to develop simulations of real world surfaces make SSOE the “go to” resource for manufacturers who want to provide safer, durable, and more refined components, and vehicles.

SSOE’s chief priority is to remain on top of emerging trends in equipment and refinement that helps you stay at the forefront of automotive testing. To that end, we seamlessly integrate planning, design, and construction administration.
