Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:
During the third quarter, Fluor announced plans to divest its government segment and the segment that oversees its construction columbus oh dump trucks rental company, AMECO. CEO Carlos Hernandez said at that time that the divestment would allow the columbus oh dump truck company to refocus on its core strengths. The government business is not “strategically enabling to the rest of Fluor,” according to Hernandez, and AMECO “does not uniquely drive project success and is not seen by clients as a differentiated offering.”
