After the signing of the deal for the acquisition of assets of the Australian Clough, Pietro Salini, the chief executive officer of Webuild, said in a statement, “Today's operation is a historic one for Webuild, which consolidates the growth strategy in low-risk markets, in line with the derisking policy adopted in recent years. With the integration of Clough, we become one of the major players in the sector, also in neighboring segments such as energy, defense plants and infrastructure, in a rapidly growing and continuously expanding market.”
