Fluor Daniel Gets Contract to Help Build Auto Plant

Fluor Daniel Inc., an Irvine-based engineering and construction company, said Wednesday that it has won a contract to help build a $250-million automotive assembly plant in Austria to make Chrysler minivans.

The Fluor Corp. subsidiary was awarded the contract by Eurostar, a Graz, Austria, joint venture between Chrysler Corp. and Austria’s Steyr-Daimler-Puch. The company will share the work with three other companies based in Detroit and St. Louis.

The project, to be managed from Fluor Daniel’s Wiesbaden, Germany, office, includes a 470,000-square-foot assembly plant that can produce 50,000 minivans annually for the European market.
