In line with evolving global sustainability standards and regulations, Pradecon is proud to announce the commencement of an ambitious ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) reporting initiative in partnership with PwC. This strategic project underscores our unwavering dedication to transparency, accountability, and environmental responsibility.

While Pradecon’s size does not mandate compliance with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), we are proactively choosing to adopt its comprehensive ESG reporting framework. This initiative involves detailed materiality analysis, rigorous sustainability benchmarking, and the integration of the EU Taxonomy criteria. Additionally, Pradecon will meticulously measure its carbon footprint and develop a strategic roadmap towards meaningful decarbonization.

This voluntary alignment with international sustainability standards not only reflects our environmental commitment but positions Pradecon a step ahead, showcasing responsible industry practices. With PwC’s robust expertise in ESG reporting, Pradecon is well-equipped to enhance its impact on sustainable development goals, exceed regulatory expectations, and maintain our trusted reputation in the global renewable energy sector.

At Pradecon, we believe rigorous ESG practices are fundamental to creating long-term value for our stakeholders and driving the transition towards a greener future. This initiative marks an important milestone on our sustainability journey, reinforcing our dedication to making positive, lasting impacts on both our industry and the wider community.

Together, we build sustainably for a better tomorrow.

Pradecon is proud to announce the completion of our latest strategic expansion—a brand-new manufacturing facility covering an impressive 7,200 m². This substantial development marks a significant milestone in our continuous efforts to support the global transition towards renewable energy.

This cutting-edge facility, backed by an investment of €7.841 million, is specifically designed to boost our capacity to produce photovoltaic mounting structures. Equipped with advanced production technology, the new plant significantly enhances our ability to deliver superior products efficiently and sustainably.

Pradecon’s industrial capabilities have now grown to an impressive annual production of 80,000 tons. Additionally, our installed capacity reaches 2,200 MWp per year, positioning us prominently as one of the leading suppliers in the photovoltaic sector.

This investment underscores our dedication not only to innovation but also to environmental responsibility. By incorporating improved energy efficiency practices and streamlined production processes, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint while meeting increasing global demands for sustainable energy infrastructure.

At Pradecon, we remain committed to continuous improvement and innovation. This expanded production facility enables us to better serve our global customers with timely deliveries and optimized structural solutions, ultimately contributing significantly to the growth and sustainability of renewable energy projects worldwide.

We look forward to continuing this journey, playing an active role in building a brighter, greener future.

Thank you to our dedicated team, valued partners, and supportive community who make these milestones possible.

Together, let’s keep powering progress!

At Pradecon, our dedication to pioneering engineering and exceptional production capacity has once again been demonstrated through three landmark photovoltaic projects across Europe in the past semester.

In Romania, we successfully executed a substantial photovoltaic park of 111 MW utilizing our double-pole foundation system, anchored by direct ground-driven piles. This approach not only streamlined installation but significantly optimized structural integrity, proving once again our engineering ingenuity and execution speed.

Moving to Italy, we proudly delivered a 40 MW photovoltaic structure on a beautiful landscape. Embracing versatility, we deployed our efficient mono-pole foundations, employing a combination of direct rammed piles and predrilled methods. This adaptability ensured rapid deployment and superior stability, perfectly tailored to the project’s unique geological challenges.

Closer to home, in Portugal, we showcased our local expertise and responsiveness with a 28 MW photovoltaic project. Our mono-post structures, strategically installed through direct piling and predrilling, highlighted our precision engineering and the ability to adapt swiftly to site-specific requirements, guaranteeing timely project completion.

These standout projects reinforce Pradecon’s position as a leader in solar infrastructure, marked by our unwavering commitment to optimized designs, efficient production, and prompt execution. As we reflect proudly on these achievements, we eagerly anticipate delivering even greater successes in the future, continuing to power the global renewable energy transition.

In a landmark move poised to accelerate the renewable energy sector, Pradecon – Construções Metálicas has been acquired by investment firms Draycott and Actium Capital. This strategic acquisition underscores the growing importance of engineering prowess and production efficiency in engineering solar structure solutions.

Founded in 2000, Pradecon has established itself as a leader in designing and manufacturing photovoltaic mounting structures. With a turnover of €61 million and a dedicated team of 30 employees, the company boasts an impressive industrial capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year and an installed capacity of 2,000 MWp annually. Pradecon’s multidisciplinary engineering team is renowned for delivering tailored solutions that ensure efficient and optimized structures, coupled with swift production and delivery timelines.

The Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) issued a non-opposition decision to the acquisition, recognizing that the transaction does not pose significant obstacles to effective competition in the national market.

Actium Capital has highlighted Pradecon as a global operator in the solar energy value chain, specifically in the production and delivery of mounting solutions for the development of photovoltaic parks. This partnership is expected to leverage Pradecon’s engineering capabilities and production capacity to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy infrastructure worldwide.

As Pradecon embarks on this new chapter, the company remains committed to its mission of delivering high-quality, efficient, and timely structural solutions. The collaboration with Actium Capital and Draycott is set to amplify Pradecon’s impact in the global transition towards sustainable energy.
