Foster Wheeler Ltd. (FWLT) is incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, with operational headquarters in Clinton NJ, and is a holding company that owns the stock of its various subsidiary companies. Foster Wheeler designs, engineers and constructs onshore and offshore upstream oil and gas processing facilities, natural gas liquefaction facilities and receiving terminals, etc.
