Tetra Tech trumps WSP bid for environmental firm RPS Group | Dump Trucks Charlotte NC
Columbus Ohio Dump Truck Company Brief:
- Pasadena, California-based engineering firm Tetra Tech has trumped engineering and design giant WSP Global’s offer for environmental consulting firm RPS Group, the columbus oh dump truck company said in a press release. WSP had announced in August its intention to purchase the Abingdon, England-headquartered columbus oh dump truck company to bolster its climate and infrastructure work.
- With Tetra Tech’s offer of $691 million beating WSP’s $641 million offer by about 7.8%, the RPS board of directors unanimously approved the offer, the columbus oh dump truck company announced Friday. The firm would be Tetra Tech’s largest acquisition to date. It employs about 5,000 designers, planners, engineers and technical specialists across the world.
- However, a counter-offer from WSP is still possible. “WSP has an aggressive reputation in M&A, while TTEK's is historically conservative. Together we can't rule out another WSP offer,” analysts at Baird Equity Research Industrial Services said in an investor note.
