Positions & Opinions Construction is a people business Home & project markets. "I believe that the Austrian construction industry - and PORR as the market leader - is taking on the role of a trailblazer in this area in the continental part of Europe,” says PORR CEO Karl-Heinz Strauss in this interview with ImmoFokus.. interviewed by:Michael Neubauer You took on the leadership of PORR in 2010. Which international developments have occurred within the company since then and where do you see PORR in 10 year's time? Karl-Heinz Strauss: What I found was a company that constituted an orchestra which was not quite in tune and was playing in a lot of concert halls it had no business playing in. We have consequently looked very closely at the markets in which PORR can demonstrate its strengths. Since then we have developed into a leading construction company within our five home markets. We are the market leader in Austria, in the top 5 in Germany and Switzerland, and we are one of the leading companies in Poland and the Czech Republic. In these markets, we offer everything that a construction company can offer - and PORR has a very broad portfolio. We also focus on the so-called project markets, where we can exploit our expertise in tunnelling, infrastructure and railway construction. This has proven successful in Qatar, Romania, Slovakia, Norway and England. We have given up on all other markets in Eastern Europe - Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Montenegro - in order to focus on the existing five home and attractive project markets. However, project markets are only attractive as long as PORR can acquire worthwhile orders in these regions. If this is no longer the case, we will withdraw . We always have two or three potential target markets with interesting projects on our radar. Currently … … these are Sweden or Denmark, both heavily investing in infrastructure. We can play to our strength in railway construction with our patented "slab track". In the next ten years, we want to continue to strengthen our home markets, that is, to be even more diverse. PORR is a construction company and we re- main a construction company. And we build as much as we can ourselves. With this strategy, we want to dramatically increase our net value within our markets. However, this will only work if we also can hold onto the knowhow and invest in further training for our employees. The competence of our own people is irreplaceable. We have a variety of strategic partnerships - that's a part of business, but we're primarily focussed on the PORRians. Let us briefly return to the home markets of Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. Do the leaders of the respective national companies come from headquarters in Vienna or are you working with local partners? Are you focussed on organic growth or expansion through acquisitions and takeovers? Two thirds are organic growth and one third is accounted for by additional purchases. We tend to acquire in the markets we enter for the first time or in order to obtain know-how that 10 ImmoFokus
