Our Company at a Glance in 2009
Corporate Headquarters (management holding company)*
HOCHTIEF Americas Division
The Americas division combines the activities of our
operational units in the USA, Canada and Brazil
Through its subsidiary Turner, HOCHTIEF has firmly
established itself as the number one general builder in
the USA, the world's largest construction market. Turner
is the leader in the particularly high-growth segments of
healthcare, education and office properties. It ranks first
in the steadily growing green building segment and sets
standards among those competing in the US market.
Our subsidiary Flatiron is a leading US player in complex
infrastructure projects such as bridges and roads.
We are therefore well equipped to bid for work in a growth
market, that of infrastructure projects on a public-private
partnership basis, in the USA and Canada. Flatiron's
civil engineering services are a strategic complement to
Turner's offering in the building construction sector.
In Brazil, HOCHTIEF do Brasil offers building and infrastructure
construction, plus facility management services.
HOCHTIEF Asia Pacific Division
The Asia Pacific division orchestrates our activities in
the Asia-Pacific region. Through its majority share in the
Leighton Group, HOCHTIEF holds the leading position
in the Australian market. Leighton's capabilities include
building, infrastructure construction, mining and concessions,
project development and industrial services.
Through its operational units comprising John Holland,
Leighton Contractors, Leighton Properties and Thiess in
Australia, plus Leighton Asia, Leighton International,
and the company's interests in the Al Habtoor Leighton
Group in the Gulf region, Leighton is able to provide
services across the entire construction value chain.
Besides taking a top spot in the Australian infrastructure
and project development segments, our subsidiary is
continuously expanding its global leadership position as
a mine operator and manager in contract mining. The
education and healthcare sector is becoming increasingly
important, and the water and energy industry is
developing into a further growth market for Leighton.
The Leighton group of companies is using its strong position
in the Australian market to step up its activities in
the particularly high-growth countries of Asia and in the
Gulf states.
HOCHTIEF Concessions Division
HOCHTIEF Concessions is one of the world's leading
industrial infrastructure investors. Through HOCHTIEF
AirPort and HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions, the company
develops and implements concessions and operation
projects in the airports, roads and social infrastructure
segments, where it also advises clients. In November
2009, HOCHTIEF Concessions reincorporated as a
German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft).
HOCHTIEF AirPort holds interests in Athens, Budapest,
Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Sydney and Tirana airports, which
in fiscal 2009 served around 88.7 million passengers.
Further paving the way for profitable growth, HOCHTIEF
AirPort teamed up with major investors in 2005 to establish
HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital. The aim is to strategically
expand the portfolio of shareholdings.
HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions designs, finances, builds
and operates public building and transportation infrastructure
projects on a public-private partnership basis.
At the end of 2009, the portfolio included seven roads
with a total length of more than 750 kilometers, including
two tunnels, 91 schools serving around 60,000 students,
two town halls, a community center and one
barracks. HOCHTIEF PPP Solutions is also masterminding
Germany's first two wholly privately financed
geothermal power plants.
