facilities for advanced technology, life sciences, R&D and healthcare
sectors globally for Fortune 500 clients. The company has annual
revenues of $320 million and employs more than 1,700 people working in

A well-known engineering services firm in Silicon Valley, Greene was
founded in 1954 and serves a broad portfolio of companies with
mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering expertise. With annual
revenues of $5 million, the company is behind many landmark buildings
in the region. They include: IBM's Almaden Research Center, Stanford
University's new Science and Engineering Quad, and 300 Santana Row in
San Jose, which is a LEED Gold Certified building. The Greene team has
established a stellar reputation for its work in the solar panel, LED
and electric car sectors. From today, the company will be known as PM
Greene Engineers.

The acquisition represents PM Group's first in the US. It will enhance
the company's existing expertise in the biopharama, med tech,
food/nutritionals and data center/mission-critical sectors, and

center of excellence focused on advanced technology, cleantech and
biotech in Silicon Valley. Through its network of offices around the
world, PM Group will help Greene follow its US clients as they expand
