Comsa shifts focus to profit margins, maintenance and concessions
Comsa Corporación, a construction group based in Catalonia, is shifting its focus from rapid growth to improving profit margins.
The company plans to concentrate its business in Spain and a small number of other countries, including Mexico, Portugal, Colombia and Switzerland.
It does not expect international business to exceed 25% of its sales.
Comsa aims to grow maintenance work, mainly for railway equipment and electricity networks, which currently makes up about 40% of its business.
It also wants to pursue attractive concession projects, including possible initiatives in Catalonia.
In June, Comsa cleared its corporate bank debt and agreed new financing lines with banks and insurers.
For 2026, it expects sales of up to €1.04 billion and net profit of €16 million, each about 3% higher than in 2025.
Comsa is prioritising better profit margins over rapid growth under a new, cautious strategy.
