Harsco Access Services moves into Panama

The new operation will operate under the Patent banner and will provide rental scaffolding and formwork systems in order to support the rapidly growing construction market in Panama and the surrounding region. Construction demand is expected to get an added boost when work begins next year on the $5.25 billion expansion and modernisation of the Panama Canal.

Harsco CEO Salvatore D. Fazzolari said: “This action establishes another strategic addition to Harsco’s expanding business presence in Latin America and will give our Harsco Access Services group the necessary in-county presence to directly support Panama’s booming construction market. We’re building a strong foundation to enhance our regional presence and expertise across all of Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean.”
