Industry Knowledge Cited in Extension of Work
at Performance Polymer Manufacturing Site
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) received a four-year
contract extension from Kraton Corporation, a specialty chemical
company, to provide maintenance and product handling and packaging
services at Kraton’s Belpre, Ohio facility.
Jacobs’ presence at the Belpre site includes approximately 125
full-time employees, including site and safety managers, operating
engineers, millwrights, electricians, pipefitters, boilermakers and
sheet metal workers. During a typical polymer turnaround, which
requires additional labor to complete the required work in a
limited timeframe, Jacobs employs more than 200 people on site.
“During the past year, we challenged Jacobs to contribute even
greater value by drawing on the vast knowledge and capability that
exists across its enterprise, and Jacobs delivered,” said Kraton
Director of Process Safety and Reliability Gene Meyer. “Jacobs has
proven to be a true collaborator and has helped Kraton be more
productive to stay ahead of our competition.”
“Jacobs works closely with Kraton to deliver value through our
proven maintenance expertise and product handling and packaging
services,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President & General Manager
of Global Field Services Valerie Roberts. “This extension will
allow us the opportunity to continue to build on this relationship.
One area that Kraton and Jacobs share a strong commitment is
safety. Both companies believe that working safely and helping
others do the same is paramount.”
Jacobs has been providing maintenance and product handling and
packaging services to serve the polymer modification and medical
industries since 2008.
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers
of full-spectrum technical, professional and construction services
for industrial, commercial and government organizations globally.
The company employs over 54,000 people and operates in more than 25
countries around the world. For more information, visit
