JSE-listed construction firm Aveng Group officially opened an office in Maputo this week in a move to strengthen the group’s overall offering in Mozambique.

“The step we are taking today formalises our long-standing relationship with Mozambique and it is a strong indication of our belief in the increasing importance of the country within the region, as well as in the people, opportunities and future of the country.

“This is an exciting period in the history of Mozambique, with the relatively high and sustained economic growth promising greater prosperity and opportunity for all Mozambicans,” Aveng Group CEO Roger Jardine said.

He pointed out that the Mozambican government had identified massive infrastructure backlogs and was committed to improving and extending public and transport infrastructure. 

“Aveng is committed to supporting the initiatives of the government and private sector and to being part of building industrial capacity and infrastructure to support Mozambique’s growth and provide sustainable jobs,” Jardine added.

The group, which has been working in the country for many years, was recently awarded a substructure contract on Section 2 of the Nacala corridor project, which entailed earthworks, drainage and bridges over the 62.5 km section of rail.

It was also building a R160-million plant for the manufacture of infrastructure products in Tete.

The Nacala corridor project and the Tete manufacturing plant were expected to create 1 200 direct and indirect jobs in the region.
