Sacyr buys up 50% of Fluor SA

Sacyr has acquired 50% of shares in Fluor SA, the Spanish subsidiary of the multinational engineering company Fluor Corporation, for €39 million, to create SacyrFluor, owned equally by the two firms..

The new company will provide engineering services and manage "EPC" projects (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) in the oil and gas sector and the onshore petrochemical industry in Spain, Southern Europe, North Africa and certain countries in South America.

SacyrFluor will be backed by the technical capabilities and global resources of Fluor Corporation. The new company has already identified a significant number of potential projects and will have over 400 employees - 380 from Fluor's operation centers in Madrid and Asturias.

Manuel Manrique, Sacyr Chairman, feels the main benefits of this operation are: "The group's drive and greater strategic vision and its solid ambition of expansion in the oil & gas industry alongside one of the world's largest, tried and tested engineering firms".

In the opinion of Pedro Sigüenza, CEO of Sacyr Industrial, "SacyrFluor is the ideal companion for Sacyr Industrial, enabling us to boost our oil & gas business and increase our capacity to take on larger EPC projects".

"Creating this new joint venture supports Fluor's strategy to provide clients with a truly integrated business solution for their project needs," said David Seaton, chairman and chief executive officer. "Combining Fluor's project management, engineering and procurement services with Sacyr's construction capabilities will provide our clients with capital efficiencies through a simplified project structure and improved opportunities for cost savings".

"Fluor and Sacyr have together successfully completed two large oil and gas projects so we already have a track record and understanding of each other's company ethos and cultures", said Miguel Ángel Gómez, vice president Energy & Chemicals and general manager Spain, North Africa. "We are looking forward to offering our clients across the regions an improved value proposition to support their project demands".

SacyrFluor's pro forma revenue in 2014 amounted to €44.8 million (with a €148 million backlog), and it is expected to turn over €88 million in 2016.

The following are a few of the benefits of the operation for Sacyr:

  • A boost to the strategic focus on expansion in the oil & gas industry
  • Full consolidation of Sacyr Fluor
  • The new firm will be Sacyr Industrial's engineering division for other countries and lines of business
  • The ability to compete in the EPC market worldwide
  • Generation of future EBITDA
