The specialist magazine Engineering News-Record (ENR) has once again placed ACS and the HOCHTIEF Group in first place in its authoritative ranking, “ENR Top 250 International Contractors”. This placement, now achieved for the eighth time in the last ten years, solidifies the group's consistent top position in a globally recognised standard ranking for the construction and infrastructure industry. The continuous recognition underscores the group's role as a leading international construction company and confirms the effectiveness of its global growth strategy.
The repeated leading position of ACS and HOCHTIEF is based on strong operational performance and solid financial figures. In the 2025 financial year, the group generated revenues of EUR 38.2 billion. Concurrently, a record order book of EUR 72.5 billion was achieved. This order book largely results from robust order intake in strategically defined growth markets that hold high relevance for future development.
