Description: Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on January 8, 1987; its predecessor was founded by Dr. Joseph J. Jacobs in 1947. A successor to that company made an initial public offering of stock in 1970. Jacobs Engineering provides technical, professional, and construction services to industrial, commercial, and governmental clients around the world. Although operations are aggregated in one reportable segment, the company provides services in four categories: project services; process, scientific, and systems consulting services; construction services; and operations and maintenance services. These services are provided to industry groups that include oil and gas exploration, production, and refining; programs for various national governments; pharmaceuticals and biotechnology; chemicals and polymers; buildings (health care, education, civic, governmental, and other buildings); infrastructure; technology and manufacturing; consumer products; and pulp and paper. As of September, 2008, properties consist primarily of office space in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Historically, in 1987, the company succeeded by merger to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a California corporation that, in 1974, had succeeded to the business founded in 1947. Recent acquisitions have included a 60 percent interest in Zamel and Turbag Consulting Engineers in Saudi Arabia in 2008; Carter and Burgess Inc., and Edwards and Kelcey, Inc. in the U.S., in 2007, and Babtie Group Limited in Scotland, in 2004.Services: Engineering, design, consulting, construction management and process maintenance services.
