Mr. Shimizu further underscored the importance of collaboration with local contractors and suppliers, saying, “They are indispensable to our operations in Singapore. Let us continue to work as partners toward achieving a sustainable future and realizing dreams that bring hope and possibilities to the next generation.”
Since receiving its first contract for wharf construction at Jurong Shipyard in 1964, Penta-Ocean Construction has played a key role in numerous projects across Singapore. Today, the company continues to contribute to the nation’s development through large-scale building construction and civil engineering projects. (2024/12/10)
