TULSA, Okla., Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matrix Service Company (Nasdaq: MTRX), a leading provider of engineering and construction services to the energy and industrial markets, announced today that it has received fiscal fourth quarter awards of $464 million, resulting in $1.1 billion in backlog as of June 30, 2023, the largest backlog since June 30, 2018.
