IIR's Report Provides Information on Foreign Industrial Projects

Industrial Information Resources (IIR)'s International Project Spending Report identifies foreign industrial capital work months or even years before bidding starts. The report identifies capital projects in the power, refining, chemical, metals, paper, and high-tech industries in the world's biggest emerging markets. It helps companies find projects needing specialized products or services. The report contains a project scope, value (US$), product and service requirements, and a timetable. All reports are phone-verified by three key contacts to ensure accuracy.
