OHLA has opened a branch in Lisbon of its industrial subsidiary with the aim of studying new contract opportunities in this sector in Portugal, the country where it carried out the first project in its history, in 1912.
The company has registered this week the opening of this branch in the Commercial Registry and company sources explain that the idea is to have a branch in the Portuguese capital to future opportunities that may arise with your clients.
Although the first contract of Obrascón, the company that is the origin of the current OHLA, was in Lisbon more than a century ago, the company has never had a large presence in Portugal.
Its return to the Portuguese market is only known in 2010 with the construction and operation for two years of the Ponte da Baia wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), between Porto and Braga, for 11 million euros.
Its industrial subsidiary is dedicated to engineering and comprehensive construction of large facilitieswith special emphasis on the areas of Energy, Mining and Cement and fire protection.
In recent years it has expanded in the deployment of renewable energies and has already accumulated more than 30 renewable projects in EuropeAmerica and Asia, with a total installed power of more than 2,300 megawatts (MW).
It has also undertaken more than 120 projects in the refining and petrochemical sector and executed nearly 200 projects and installed equipment in more than 40 countries on 5 continents in the mining and cement sector.
In the first nine months of the year, the industrial business has reported sales of 158 million euros, almost doubling the 81 million euros of the same period last year, as well as a margin of profitability of 2.7%.
Likewise, at the end of September, the industrial portfolio reached 211 million eurosmainly from several photovoltaic plants in Spain, specifically in Extremadura, Aragon and Andalusia.
