Multinational engineering and high-tech contracting firm M+W U.S. is a part this week's Engineering Firms List — coming Friday ! — but is better known for its contracting work, including on two game-changing projects in the region, the SUNY Polytechnic campus in Albany and GlobalFoundries plant in Malta.
Former CEO Rick Whitney moved the company's American headquarters to the Watervliet Arsenal from Dallas in 2010, in large part because of those projects and also the feeling that the region was going to grow into a hub for technology companies.
Whitney left for another job in October, and the company named Ron Oakley the new CEO.
