Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it celebrated the
company’s 25th anniversary of continuous operations in the
Philippines. Fluor management and employees in Manila and Cebu
commemorated the important milestone with several events in both cities
highlighted by the attendance of local dignitaries, Fluor senior
executives and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Seaton.
“Our employees should be proud of this incredible milestone,” said David
Seaton. “The phenomenal growth of this office is directly attributable
to the high skill level and positive attitude of our engineers and
technical personnel here in Manila and Cebu. It is also a reflection of
the outstanding engineering education programs in the Philippines. As
Fluor continues to expand its operations globally, both our local and
global clients will continue to benefit from the expertise of the
talented group of professionals we have here in the Philippines.”
“We have come a long way since we first began providing engineering
support services to other Fluor offices 25 years ago,” said Dan Spinks,
vice president and general manager of Fluor’s Philippines operations.
“Today, we now offer a full range of project execution and EPCM services
and we also feature two of the fastest growing offices in our global
network with more than 2,200 professionals in Cebu and Manila.”
Fluor opened its first Philippines office in Manila in 1987 with 57
employees. In 2011, Fluor opened its second office in the Philippines by
expanding into Cebu. Today, more than 2,200 local professionals in
engineering, procurement, finance, IT and other disciplines provide
world class support on Fluor’s capital projects in the oil and gas,
chemicals, power, and mining and metals industries.
Established as a global execution center, the Manila office initially
supported other Fluor offices in the global network enabling the company
to provide clients engineering, design and technical services 24 hours a
day. Over the years, the office has grown and expanded its capabilities
and now offers a complete suite of full-service engineering,
procurement, construction management and project management services.
The two offices support projects in locations as diverse as the Middle
East, South America, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, China and the
Philippines.
Fluor's Philippines operations center is currently working on a
depletion compression platform for the Malampaya Phase 3 Project, which
when completed, will ensure continued supply of natural gas to power
about 40 percent of the electricity for the island of Luzon.
