World Wide Professional Solutions (WWPS), the leader in program, project, construction, and design management for large-scale, complex semiconductor projects, has merged with Cumming Group. Founded in 2017, WWPS partners with top microchip manufacturers to provide facility construction management, tool and equipment installation, and business intelligence services for the onshoring of foundries across the U.S. 

Cumming Group, an international project management and cost consulting firm, offers comprehensive services including project management, cost management, scheduling, and project controls. 

The addition of WWPS’ 230 professionals strengthens the firm’s expertise and capabilities in the rapidly growing sector and establishes Cumming Group as the largest pure-play service provider for U.S. manufacturing construction — a market nearing $250 billion in total capital investment in 2025. 

Cumming Group and WWPS come together amidst the prioritization of digital infrastructure, manufacturing onshoring, and other mission-critical developments supporting cutting-edge technological advances and economic growth.   

“The semiconductor industry is at a pivotal moment, with unprecedented investment and innovation reshaping the landscape,” said Derek Hutchison, President and CEO of Cumming Group. “The addition of WWPS aligns with our strategic vision to further strengthen Cumming Group’s position as the premier owner advisory firm for high-tech and advanced manufacturing facilities.”
