Harsco's industry-leading expertise in designing and installing highly engineered scaffolding and concrete formwork systems helps leading infrastructure construction companies build and maintain the new power plants, airports, highways and other major facilities that create jobs, expand commerce and improve quality of life. We work onsite as integrated service experts to the world’s largest steel and metals producers to improve the efficiency and environmental responsiveness of their worldwide production operations. The co-products we recover from metals production and coal combustion contribute to environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and provide building blocks for specialized industrial products. And our state-of-the-art railway track maintenance equipment and services help fuel global economic growth by enabling railroads throughout the world transport goods and people more efficiently and economically, and with greater safety and comfort.

When the world's economies begin their inevitable recovery from the current recessionary spiral, the prudent countermeasures that Harsco continues to take to lower its cost structure, strengthen its balance sheet and cash flows, and build an increasing presence in the world’s higher growth emerging markets should position the company for a rapid re-acceleration of its traditional growth performance. Harsco wins by understanding how our customers throughout the world define value and by building robust service and product portfolios that align our expertise, resources and global network to their needs. We are equally committed to creating wealth and value for our stockholders, including a strong history of continuous dividends every year since 1939 that also includes annual dividend increases in each of the past 15 years.
