Soares da Costa ( Sociedade de Construções Soares da Costa SA ). Grupo Soares da Costa is the third largest construction company in the field of civil engineering in Portugal and in 86th place in the European ranking.
The company was founded in 1918 by José Soares da Costa in Porto with ten employees. Ninety years after its inception, Soares da Costa is dedicated to building a number of related fields such as concessions, industry and real estate. Presence in international markets such as the United States and Angola is one of the Group's trademarks. The group currently employs around 5,000 people. The company is listed on Euronext on the Lisbon Stock Exchange .
The end of the family business came with the realignment as a stock corporation in 1968, followed by the listing on the Lisbon and Porto stock exchanges in 1986 . Today, Grupo Soares da Costa is one of the top 100 global companies in the construction industry. Major construction projects in recent years have included Macau Airport and the Light Rail System of the Porto Metro .
Soares da Costa makes about 53 percent of its sales overseas, maintaining a permanent presence in Florida (USA), Angola , Mozambique , Romania , Israel and Ireland , as well as occasional activities in a few other countries. The mainstay for Soares da Costa is currently the booming construction sector in Angola, followed by Mozambique. In the future, however, the company intends to balance the expected decline in the Portuguese construction industry with stakes in smaller construction companies in Brazil .
Strong technical skills and orientation in international markets, as well as highly qualified personnel, were the key to the success of the group.
