This business focussed on the manufacture of bespoke pre-cast structural components.
Substantial investment has been made in the Nottinghamshire site, including the introduction of the Matiere system of pre-engineered concrete bridging structures.
To reflect the different nature of these businesses, two divisions will operate in the UK, ABM Precast Solutions for bespoke precast units and ABM Bridge Systems for Matiere buried precast concrete structures.
In Ireland the company is best known as a leading contractor for general construction.
However, in recent years there has been considerable growth in heavy civil engineering work, largely based on the use of the Matiere bridge system.
The construction and civil engineering business units will now be known respectively as ABM Construction and ABM Bridge Systems.

In these three countries the company will trade under a single identity, ABM Mosty.
The global headquarters for the group will continue to be Dublin.
To project a consistent image in all markets a new web site has been created www.abmeurope.com which showcases the work of all the divisions.
