Omega Morgan is a privately held company headquartered in Hillsboro in the U.S. state of Oregon. Founded in 1991, the 350-employee company primarily transports large-scale industrial and transportation equipment as well as rigging. They also coordinate smaller-scale moves of precise manufacturing equipment. == History == Morgan Industrial was founded in 1991 in North Plains, Oregon, by Joe Morgan where the majority of its business came from Intel Corporation in nearby Hillsboro. The company purchased Omega Rigging, based in Tacoma, Washington, in 2003 and used it to launch its heavy transport work.〔 Jeff Morgan became the company’s CEO in 2004.〔 The company announced in 2010 they would likely add 150 employees during construction of Intel’s D1X facility, which was on top of the 100 employees already working on projects for Intel. In 2011, the company renamed itself as Omega Morgan.〔 At the time the company had grown to 275 employees and had revenues of $42 million in 2010〔 and had an office in Fife, Washington, along with the headquarters in Hillsboro.〔 John McCalla became the company's CEO in December 2011, replacing Jeff Morgan. At that time Riverlake Partners had taken majority ownership of the company for an undisclosed amount.〔 The investment by Riverlake was hoped to allow the company to grow to annual revenues of $100 million within a few years.〔 Omega Morgan hauled the Canby Ferry to Portland in April 2012 due to the closure of the Willamette Falls Locks. In July 2012, Omega Morgan bought Action Machinery Moving of Lynden, Washington.〔 Also in 2012, the company started an office in Phoenix, Arizona.〔 In January 2013, the company moved the main section of the Sellwood Bridge in Portland, Oregon, as part of the construction project to replace the bridge. The move allowed for the old bridge section to be used as a detour route while the new bridge was constructed adjacent to the old span.〔 Omega Morgan used jacks and skids to move the section, as well as Dawn dish-washing detergent as a lubricant.〔 In August 2013, the company began hauling over-sized loads to the Canadian tar sands. While the route through Idaho was approved by Idaho's Department of Transportation, environmental groups and tribal leaders protested part of the Idaho portion of the route on U.S. Route 12 that crossed tribal lands and traveled along the Clearwater River.〔〔 The protests slowed the load, but the shipment later arrived in Montana. In September 2013, they moved the replacement span into place as part of the repairs to the Skagit River bridge in Washington. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omega Morgan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
