IDC & Lockwood Greene Report Progress on New Industrial Client Group Structure

On January 18 IDC's Portland office hosted a presentation by IDC President George Lemmon (PDX) and Lockwood Greene President & CEO Fred Brune.

The presentation updated progress made over the last year in expanding CH2M HILL’s Industrial Client Group, including bringing Lockwood Greene into the CH2M HILL enterprise.

A number of staff from CH2M HILL's Portland office and Lockwood Greene offices were on hand for the presentation by George and Fred.

George described the transition as a "work in progress" that’s succeeding through increased collaboration among CH2M HILL business groups. He explained that the process of integrating Lockwood Greene has been deliberately done in increments, rather than trying to accomplish all of the operational changes in "a single day." George complimented everyone for adjusting to these changes over the past year.

Fred mentioned that Lockwood Greene's offices in Argentina, Brazil, Russia and Thailand are helping to broaden CH2M Hill's international reach. He commented that Lockwood Greene's "Best Value Centers" in strategic international locations have allowed the company to produce and export high-quality design work at lower costs, helping the company become more competitive in all of its global markets.

George recounted that industrial markets have long been important contributors to CH2M HILL's portfolio. He added that the increasing diversification of our industrial projects has not only strengthened the company, but also produced new opportunities for our staff to gain experience in new types of projects and new technologies.
