Arrow Global Portugal and Engexpor have entered into a strategic agreement under which the Group becomes the majority shareholder of Engexpor, a leading project and construction management company with a strong presence in Portugal. This partnership, advised by Restart Capital — a Group entity — supports the growth strategy by integrating technical expertise that complements and strengthens the value chain in the real estate sector.
We recognise in Engexpor a highly qualified team, with a solid reputation and a portfolio of relevant projects. This partnership deepens the existing collaboration between the two entities, enhancing efficiency, reinforcing technical oversight, and increasing the capacity to deliver complex projects.
The agreement strengthens Engexpor’s financial and operational capabilities, creating the conditions for sustainable growth, improved quality and service efficiency, and the diversification of its offer in the engineering and architecture sectors. At the same time, it fosters the company’s international expansion, benefiting from the Group’s synergies and presence in strategic European geographies.
“Engexpor joins the Arrow Global Portugal ecosystem as a strategic partner we trust and with whom we’ve built a strong relationship. Its technical expertise, independence, and market reputation make Engexpor a key pillar in enhancing our value proposition. This partnership enables us to offer even more comprehensive solutions to our investors while preserving the diversity and agility that characterise both entities,” explains Paulo Barradas, CEO of Restart Capital.
Engexpor will maintain its operational autonomy, continuing to serve a broad and diversified client base across multiple sectors. The partnership is positioned as a strategic alliance, preserving the independence and breadth of action of both parties.
Miguel Alegria, CEO of Engexpor, says: “This partnership with Arrow Global Portugal represents a natural evolution for Engexpor, creating new growth opportunities. We believe in Arrow Global Portugal’s vision and are aligned in values, ambition, and a shared commitment to quality. Preserving our independence and continuing to work with a diversified client base in the sectors where we operate — Real Estate, Industry, Energy and Infrastructure — will remain a key pillar of our market positioning.”
This transaction reinforces the joint positioning of Arrow Global Portugal and Engexpor as leading strategic partners in the engineering and construction sectors, as well as in real estate, with an integrated and distinctive value proposition. It opens up new growth and collaboration opportunities for both entities.
