From the Paper:

"The Flatiron Corporation began in 1947 as a small construction company and has since gone on to become one of the United State's premier bridge and other large public works construction companies. The company has recently returned to its original name and has diversified significantly, since it was purchased by the Netherland's based Royal BAM Group. The work it does is mainly in the western United States and now consists of five smaller companies, whose main headquarters are still in Longmont Colorado. The five subsidiary companies are Flatiron Constructors Inc, Flatiron Constructors, Inc. Intermountain, FCI Constructors, Inc. Southern Division, FCI Constructors, Inc. Northern Division and Interbeton, Inc. all operating from different US locations. Though most of Flatiron's work is national in 2004 Flatiron expanded to Canada and opened an office there to oversee two ongoing civil projects."
