Foster Wheeler's experience and expertise in pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals is comprehensive and global. Cutting-edge capability enables the company to meet a client's most stringent requirements for any size or type of project, ranging from small retrofits to multimillion-dollar grassroots facilities.
