Share TweetBy James A.LoyolaMarking its 50th anniversary, Lopez-controlled First Balfour, one of the country’s leading engineering and construction companies, is gearing up for more infrastructure projects as the country tries to keep up with the demands of its growing economy. In 1976, PECCO changed its name to Engineering & Construction Corporation of Asia (ECCO-Asia) to signal the company’s expansion into the construction of power transmissions, oil refineries, and industrial plants. First Balfour, as it is known today, emerged after a series of mergers and more name changes spanning almost a decade. It has since then expanded its business by helping more and more projects being undertaken by companies outside the FPH Group.
