Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: two-sector company
Today, we are charged with creating value for our customers, our shareholders and ourselves as a **two-sector company** with operations in chemicals and transportation construction.

Gibt es dafür einen prägnanten deutschen Begriff? Oder muss ich es umschreiben - z.B. so: "ein Unternehmen, das in zwei Sektoren/Branchen vertreten/aktiv/tätig ist" oder "ein Unternehmen mit einem Standbein in zwei Branchen"?

Explanation:
"in zwei Branchen vertreten/aktiv/tätig" ist gut, Sektoren würde ich nicht nehmen (nach meinem Gusto).
