EMCOR Discusses Strategic Acquisitions and Diversification

EMCOR's CEO highlights strategic acquisitions like Ohmstede and S.A. Comunale as key to diversifying into stable end markets such as refining and fire protection.

“At the same time, we have undertaken strategic acquisitions, such as Ohmstede, S.A. Comunale and a number of mechanical services companies, which have shifted the mix of our business to stable end markets such as refining, fire protection and mechanical services which are less capital intensive and not as vulnerable to economic downturns than construction.”
