Learn what's new—and what's not—about our brand relaunch.
100+ years of innovation, and we’re not stopping now.
Consumers change. Markets change. Companies change. And since 1913, our knack for innovation has helped banks and credit unions stay ahead and adapt to the changing needs of their consumers. However, those aren’t our only market partners. We’ve also been serving retailers and hospitality clients like Starbucks, Dior, Panda Express, and Springhill Suites, and we’re proud of our diverse service offerings.
Modern business requires innovation and adaptability. And as we’ve done for over a century, we’re rising to help more industries meet those challenges.
We’re enhancing our vision for twenty-first-century businesses, expanding our offerings and expertise, and clarifying how we partner with global brands from start to finish across the financial, retail, and hospitality industries.
This is more than a redesigned website with a fresh coat of paint. We are NewGround International: architects, engineers, strategists, and interior specialists helping Groundbreakers like you plan, design, and build innovative spaces — for the next 100 years of business.

A Groundbreaker is an innovator, someone who isn’t afraid to push the boundaries and challenge industry standards. Groundbreakers don’t want to follow market trends, they want to set them. They want what’s best for their consumers and employees alike. Put simply, Groundbreakers are open to new ideas and aren’t afraid to come up with a few of their own either.
