Maccaferri
Overview
Founded in 1879 and headquartered in Bologna, Italy, Officine Maccaferri is a global leader in Climate Adaptation Engineering and a recognised player in the design and development of innovative, sustainable infrastructure solutions across geotechnical, hydraulic and environmental engineering. Uniquely positioned as a vertically integrated specialist with a comprehensive range of soil stabilisation and drainage solutions, Maccaferri leverages deep technical expertise, proprietary technologies, and a distinctive go-to-market strategy to operate in a sector largely decoupled from economic cycles and driven by a long-term, urgent demand for environmental resilience. With 145 years of technical and engineering excellence and a strong commitment to innovation, Maccaferri plays a pivotal role in supporting the transition toward more resilient and sustainable solutions. Its products offer low-carbon, environmentally responsible alternatives within the building-materials sector, contributing to large-scale climate-adaptation and risk-mitigation strategies. In a market characterised by significant fragmentation, Officine Maccaferri stands out as one of the most respected and trusted players, well-positioned to accelerate its global growth. As at the end of 2025, the company has successfully completed three add-on acquisitions, reinforcing its leadership and expanding its capabilities.

Environmental Thesis
Civil infrastructure accounts for ~5% of global emissions (~2.5Gt CO₂), with building materials alone contributing 50–60%. At the same time, climate-driven natural disasters have doubled over the past 40 years, with economic impact up 10x - driving demand for more resilient infrastructure.
The sector benefits from strong structural tailwinds: urbanisation, new builds in emerging markets, and upgrades in developed economies. In this context, Maccaferri stands out as a differentiated environmental engineering solutions provider, reducing environmental footprint by 30–90% vs. alternatives.
The Group’s solutions contribute to material savings equivalent to ~700,000 SUVs and CO₂ reductions comparable to the absorption of ~2 million trees.
