Concor

It is active throughout Southern Africa, involved in civil engineering, buildings, roads and mining projects.

Engineer Fernando Piccinini, the original founder of Construction Corporation, registered the company in Johannesburg on 28 April 1948.

Piccinini was originally a chairman of Ferrocemento, an Italian construction giant and the emerging Concor received its technical support initially from there.

By the early 2000s, the German international construction group Hochtief owned just under 50% of Concors shares providing the company with the benefits of technology transfer.

[2] Concor Holdings was delisted on 30 June 2006 when 100% of its share capital was purchased by Murray & Roberts.
