Fluor Corporation

Fluor surely ranks among the largest publicly owned corporations in the business of providing engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services for its clients. Fluor is one of the world's safest contractors and is routinely awarded for its unique expertise. Fluor is located in Irving, Texas, but operates as a truly international company employing some 30,000 international employees in over 25 countries.

Fluor's net income of approximately $260 million on just over $14 billion in revenues might not seem terribly impressive, but the company's core clients tend to be governments and major international corporations that offer low, fixed profits with the possibility of a significant bonus for completing the project on time.

Fluor's extensive operations insulate the company from a downturn in any one industry. Because of its exposure to petrochemicals, power, telecommunications, and transportation the company is poised to grow along with an expanding global economy. Infrastructure investments are critical to any developing economy, so many emerging global powers will be requiring Fluor's services in the coming years.
