Dow Chemical picks Fluor as global EPC contractor for capital projects
Fluor announced late Thursday that it and Dow Chemical signed a strategic global engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and construction management agreement in support of Dow’s global capital projects program ranging across all Dow products.
This three-year agreement has a two-year extension option for up to five years and includes potential new project work spanning across the globe, company officials said.
Dow currently serves customers in approximately 160 countries and in high growth sectors such as electronics, water, energy, coatings and agriculture.
“Fluor’s culture of safety, sustainability and project execution excellence complements Dow’s beliefs and culture,” said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor’s energy and chemicals group.
“In addition, our global footprint matches well with Dow’s potential new project needs around the globe,” he continued.
“Our expertise in performing projects in challenging geographies across the world is unmatched, and we’re poised to assist Dow in meeting their new project needs aligned with their business agenda.”
The contract includes potential new projects for specialty chemical, advanced materials, agrosciences and plastics businesses in high growth sectors such as electronics, water, energy, coatings and agriculture, officials said.
Fluor is currently providing front-end loading services for a coatings and water treatment project in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
