Bauer Maschinen Group at Bauma in Shanghai: The latest specialist Foundation Engineering Technology for the Asian Market
Although Bauma China only reported around 80,000 visitors this November, a drop of more than 60% compared with the event two years ago, the organizers were still satisfied. Ultimately, the exhibition also sent an important signal for the construction equipment industry as the largest event of its kind since the outbreak of the pandemic. “There were fewer guests at this Bauma than in previous years, particularly due to the lack of international visitors, which was of course due to the current situation. Nevertheless, this meant that we were able to take more time for individual customers and potential clients, and engage in highly valuable conversations,” remarks Marc Scheib, Executive Director of Bauer Equipment Shanghai.

SNC-Lavalin announces Completion of the Sale of South African Resources Business
SNC-Lavalin announced that it has completed the previously announced agreement to sell its South African Resources business to local management. The sale forms part of the Company’s strategy to focus on becoming a leading professional services and project management company, and generate consistent earnings and cash flow.
The South African Resource business, with approximately 1,800 employees, primarily services construction and site maintenance clients. The sale and exit of this business is in line with SNC-Lavalin’s strategic focus on Engineering Services, and follows both the closure and exit of Valerus in March, a non-core, mid-stream oil and gas business based in Houston, and the divestment of the European fertilizer business in September.
“Since announcing in July the restructuring of our Resources business into a pure services business, we have made great progress. The closure of this sale is part of that progress, alongside the continued right-sizing of overheads, and importantly; winning new services contracts such as the new framework agreement with bp announced in September,” said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. “More broadly, Engineering Services, has delivered strong results through 2020 and this is where our future lies going forward.”
