IRVING, US: Fluor Corporation’s unit, Ameco, has acquired ServiTrade, a Mozambique-based construction equipment rental and project services company. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Founded in 1998, ServiTrade is one of east Africa’s premier project services companies for projects throughout the region. ServiTrade provides fully operated and maintained equipment, camp services, transportation, and batch plant services to the infrastructure, mining, natural gas and power industries with an execution model aligned with Ameco.
