| Amec to acquire Australian engineering consultancy Zektingroup British construction giant Amec announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Zektingroup (Zektin), an Australian-based specialist engineering consultancy for the oil and gas and resources industries, from its owner-managers. Closing is anticipated later in February. Zektin is a 200-person engineering consultancy that provides front-end engineering design (FEED) and engineering services to the oil and gas market, in particular coal seam methane (CSM), and the controlled-environment market, which includes the bioprocess, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals sectors. The company is headquartered in Melbourne with a regional office in Brisbane. The acquisition of Zektin is fully aligned with AMEC's Vision 2015 strategy of assured growth through a strengthened geographic footprint and enhanced capabilities in key sectors. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
