The NYSE-listed steel giant Commercial Metals Company has signed a deal to take over the running of the US operations of Australian bridge-building company InQuik, which started on a Goulburn farm in NSW in 2015.

InQuik, owned by the Mullaney family and a few private investors, invented a modular system to speed up the construction of bridges. It set up a US office in 2022, and across Australia and the Pacific has built 200 bridges with the new system.
