Doosan Corporation · Seoul South Korea ·(Korea: 000150)

While it maintains many different irons in even more fires, Doosan is looking to boost its core competencies in civil engineering, heavy construction and technology. That has been primarily accomplished through its 2005 acquisition of Doosan Infracore, a producer of construction equipment and industrial vehicles. Subsidiary Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction builds power plants, desalination plants, and engages in various civil and construction activities that further the company's overall infrastructure support business. Other business units contributing to Doosan's diverse bottom line include chemical distribution, publishing, clothing, fast-food restaurants, and shopping mall operations. To read the full description, subscribe now.
