In a bid to shed non-profitable operations, Stockholm-based contracting giant Skanska AB will reduce its global workforce by 3,000, new CEO Anders Danielsson said on Feb. 2.
The acquisition will expand Trimble's presence in the owner-focused project management software market, while e-Builder plans full integration into the Trimble Connect suite of products.
According to several sources close to the project, Rhode Island-based Gilbane Building Co. has been chosen as general contractor for the 22-million-sq-ft, $10-billion flat-screen-panel manufacturing campus to be built by Taiwanese electronics maker Foxconn in Mt. Pleasant, Wis. Gilbane.
