Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced that AMECO, its tool and
equipment unit, celebrated the grand opening of its new global
headquarters today in Greenville, South Carolina.
Fluor designed and engineered the new LEED-certified space that features
collaborative working space and the latest technology. Senior executives
from Fluor and AMECO and elected officials and employees attended the
celebration of the new headquarters.
“AMECO’s expertise in tools and equipment for large construction
projects is an integral part of Fluor’s construction offerings and is
just one visible element of Fluor’s commitment to increasing its
self-perform construction work,” said Garry Flowers, president of AMECO
and head of Project Support Services for Fluor.
“With the demand for AMECO’s capabilities and services, it was apparent
just how much AMECO had outgrown the capacity of the old building, which
had been used for 20 years as a multipurpose facility,” said Tracey
Cook, AMECO’s vice president of Global Operations. “By consolidating
AMECO's staff resources into one building in one location, we are better
able to effectively and efficiently execute project work no matter where
it is located throughout the world.”
With AMECO’s deep roots in Greenville, the company elected to construct
its new facility on the grounds of the property that has housed AMECO
operations for nearly 40 years and is familiar to customers, suppliers
and contractors.
