thought there might be an international player that participates in the global infrastructure build out.

Well, one of those would be Manitowoc (MTW). Foreign sales 48%, the bulk of their profits comes from construction cranes. It may be a little expensive right now, but it will probably come back.

That said, I don't own it, and I'm leery of the infrastructure plays right now. We've seen crazed Asian buildouts before, and buying into them once they've gained a head of steam has yielded mixed results, at best. I'd be looking to buy infrastructure companies when Asia has a forest of "see through" buildings, and cranes are standing idle over holes in the ground.
