The Spanish firm Grupo ACS is nearly a century younger than Vinci. ACS formed in 1997 with the merger of OCP Construcciones S.A. and Ginés Navarro Construcciones S.A. Since then, it has gone on to acquire several other companies notably purchasing a two-thirds stake in Hochtief.</p>
The company built its global empire by focusing on the development of sectors fundamental to economic growth. To this end, Grupo ACS has become an industry leader in infrastructure as well as civil and industrial engineering projects.
Some of Grupo ACS’ most significant builds are the Alqueva Dam in Portugal as well as the Torre de Cristal and Torre Espacio skyscrapers in Spain.
