SURBANA Jurong has signed a deal to acquire Australian engineering firm Robert Bird Group (RBG) - its fifth major acquisition since 2015 as it sets its sights on becoming an end-to-end engineering consultancy by adding expertise it still lacks.
In an interview with The Business Times, group CEO Wong Heang Fine declines to reveal the price it paid for the privately-owned consulting engineering firm, which also has offices in the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and Southeast Asia.
