In 2000, EMCOR Group continued to enhance its range of capabilities and service offerings. The Company’s across-the- board expertise in a wide range of services associated with the design, construction, operation and maintenance of facilities  is the basis of the organization’s rapid evolution, keeping pace with today’s rate of technological change. As EMCOR continues to grow, it is well positioned to service not only traditional markets, but also those emerging sectors experiencing rapid change and growth. In 2000 the Company highlighted its international focus on three emerging market sectors with substantial growth potential – facilities services, energy, and communications infrastructure. The high level of technical content, especially in sophisticated mechanical and electrical systems, associated with these sectors is a perfect fit with EMCOR’s construction, operations and maintenance capabilities. These are EMCOR’s core competencies, and its experienced technical personnel allows EMCOR to respond rapidly to the changing needs of customers almost anywhere in the world. EMCOR continues to invest in expanding  the capabilities of its subsidiary operations and is increasingly utilizing these operations to bring  “one-stop shopping,” single point of contact service to clients with national and international business needs. EMCOR’s 2000 performance record reflects the continued strong demand for its services across its geographic and operational markets. The significant increase in the pace of both project awards and backlog turnover is testament to EMCOR’s ability to satisfy the time-sensitive requirements of its clients. 1 communications infrastructure energy facilities services
