ACS and HOCHTIEF Group maintains its leadership as the world’s largest international contractor according to ENR

The specialized publication Engineering News-Record (ENR) has once again ranked ACS Group and HOCHTIEF in first place in its prestigious ENR Top 250 International Contractors ranking. This is the eighth time in the last ten years that the Group has led this ranking, which is considered the global benchmark for the construction and infrastructure sector. This recognition reinforces ACS Group’s position as the world’s largest international contractor and highlights the strength of its global strategy and its ability to generate sustainable growth in the main international markets.

ACS Group’s leadership is underpinned by solid operating and financial results. In 2025, the Group recorded sales of €49,848 million and reached a record backlog of €92,858 million, driven by growth in contract awards in strategic sectors such as data centers, digital infrastructure, energy, critical minerals, defense, healthcare, and sustainable transportation. The Group’s international scale is reflected in the fact that 92% of its backlog is outside Spain, with the United States and Canada accounting for 56% of the total, further strengthening its position in the world’s most dynamic infrastructure markets.

This recognition highlights ACS Group’s distinctive ability to develop, finance, design, construct, operate, and maintain infrastructure throughout its full life cycle. Through its companies HOCHTIEF, Turner, CIMIC, Dragados, FlatironDragados, Iridium, and other subsidiaries, the Group continues to strengthen collaboration across businesses and geographies to deliver integrated solutions for the world’s most complex and transformative projects, consolidating its position as a benchmark strategic partner in long-term growth sectors.
