Amec Foster Wheeler Limited is a private limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom in 1982. It originated as AMEC, formed by the merger of Leonard Fairclough & Son and the William Press Group, and grew through subsequent acquisitions to become a significant player in engineering and construction.
In 2014, AMEC merged with Foster Wheeler AG, rebranding as Amec Foster Wheeler, which expanded its capabilities in project delivery for the oil and gas, chemicals, power generation, mining, and infrastructure industries. The company provided a full range of services including consultancy, engineering design, procurement, construction management, operations, and maintenance across the asset lifecycle.
With a global footprint spanning more than 50 countries and a workforce of around 35,000 to 40,000 at its peak, Amec Foster Wheeler was headquartered in London and listed on major stock exchanges prior to its acquisition.
In October 2017, it was acquired by the Aberdeen-based Wood Group in a deal valued at approximately £2.2 billion, integrating its operations into what is now Wood plc. As a wholly-owned subsidiary, it continues to contribute to the group's engineering and technical services portfolio, particularly supporting clients in the chemical and energy sectors worldwide.
