HOCHTIEF Americas Division

The Americas division coordinates the activities of HOCHTIEF companies in the Group’s construction and services modules in the US, Canada and Brazil.

Through its subsidiary Turner, HOCHTIEF is the leading general builder in the USA, the world’s biggest construction market. Turner is No. 1 in the growth segments of education, healthcare and office properties. It likewise leads the increasingly important green building segment, which has grown to become a market driver in the US.

HOCHTIEF’s subsidiary Flatiron is a frontrunner in the US infrastructure sector. Flatiron is also a major pillar of our activities in the growth segment of public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects in the USA and Canada.

Subsidiary HOCHTIEF do Brasil has been among the leaders on the Brazilian construction market for several decades. Alongside building and infrastructure construction, the company also offers facility management services.

HOCHTIEF Asia Pacific Division

The Asia Pacific division orchestrates our activities in Australia and Asia. HOCHTIEF leads the Australian market through its majority share in the Leighton Group. Leighton’s capabilities include building, infrastructure construction, mining and concessions, project development and industrial services.

Leighton spans the entire construction value chain with its operational units comprising Leighton Contractors, Thiess, John Holland and Leighton Properties in Australia, plus Leighton Asia, Leighton International, and the company’s interests in the Al Habtoor Leighton Group in the Gulf region.

Besides taking a top spot in the infrastructure and project development segments, Leighton is systematically expanding its global leadership position as a mine operator and manager in contract mining. Strongly positioned in the Australian market, Leighton is stepping up its activities in selected Asian countries and in the Gulf region.

Leighton has its own group policies and code of ethics in line with its specific regional circumstances.

HOCHTIEF Concessions Division

HOCHTIEF Concessions and its two subordinate companies HOCHTIEF AirPort and HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions preside over the development and implementation of concessions and operation projects in the Concessions division. The division’s business segments include airports, toll roads, social infrastructure/public buildings, and further public-private partnership (PPP) projects.

HOCHTIEF AirPort’s business portfolio includes interests in Athens, Budapest, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Sydney and Tirana airports. These six airports served a combined total of around 90 million passengers in 2008. Paving the way for further profitable growth, HOCHTIEF AirPort teamed up with major investors in 2005 to establish HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital. A targeted portfolio expansion strategy places the emphasis on long-term investments.

HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions designs, finances, builds and operates public building and transportation infrastructure projects on a public-private partnership basis. The portfolio embraces seven toll road projects with a total length of more than 700 kilometers along with 89 schools serving over 60,000 students, two town halls, a community center and one barracks.
