SUDOP PRAHA and SUAS Construction have each acquired 50 percent of the Karlovy Vary-based design office Porticus s. r. o. Originally owned by BAU-STAV, which was acquired by SUAS Construction in 2021. The merger with SUDOP is intended to strengthen Porticus’ position and capacity in design and engineering, the companies announced today.
“With this step, we become a major design institute in the Karlovy Vary region. The SUAS Construction line within the SUAS GROUP covers all activities in the construction sector and until now has often struggled with a lack of capacity for modern design and engineering. By linking up with SUDOP PRAHA, one of the big players in Central Europe, who deal with modern approaches in designing and solving buildings, including digitalization of processes, we can fundamentally advance technologically, expand our activities in the field of transport construction and offer the best for investors,” said Rudolf Borýsek, Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors of SUAS Construction.
On the other hand, SUDOP PRAHA, in addition to joining with a strong and strategic partner, gains a solid position in the territory of the Karlovy Vary Region. It already operates in Prague, Hradec Králové, Plzeň and Ústí nad Labem.
“We have always looked for opportunities for further growth and new regional expansion within the market. This applies both abroad and within the Czech Republic. We are therefore looking for and approaching suitable partners who share similar values and visions as we do,” said Martin Chrastil, CEO of SUDOP PRAHA, about the new merger. “We are convinced that the Karlovy Vary Region will experience great growth in the coming period. However, we will need to prepare the appropriate infrastructure for this. We can provide our colleagues with not only our long experience with large projects, but also the background of a large multidisciplinary company, modern technical know-how or experience from abroad,” added Chrastil.
