Domestic M&A holding steady as global deals dip in 2013

摘要

Last year, we boldly declared that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were back among the MEP Giants, as a sense of optimism led to a flurry of deal-making in 2012. Throughout 2013, Consulting-Specifying Engineer's MEP Grants remained in the M&A game, with 16 of the giants acquiring a firm in 2013-the same total as the prior year. The positive economic vibes that prevailed in 2012 have rolled on through 2013 and have continued so far this year. The 2014 MEP Giants continue to make calculated moves to advance their strategic positions through M&A.
