Stable environmental industry continues consolidation
Article Abstract:
Consolidation was rampant although there was little growth in the environmental industry in 1997. Farkas Berkowitz and Co stated in its annual report entitled 'State-of-the-Industry Report' that the trend was caused by the industry's move to find access to a wider range of services. The report also declared that while in 1995 the environmental consulting and remediation market controlled only 20% of the market, by 1996 they already had control of 40% of the market signifying the disappearance of medium-sized firms.
