The Saur Group is pleased to announce, through Aquapor, its leading company in water service management in Portugal, the acquisition of CTGA & Enviman, companies specializing in the development of studies and projects in the fields of Hydraulic, Sanitary, and Environmental Engineering, as well as the operation, maintenance, and optimization of environmental systems.

CTGA & Enviman will enrich Aquapor’s portfolio with environmental consulting services, studies and projects for water infrastructure, equipment supply, technology, and asset management services in Portugal. This expansion will strengthen Aquapor’s offering with comprehensive and innovative solutions that not only meet market demands but also contribute to the promotion of sustainability and the preservation of water resources.

This acquisition reflects Aquapor’s growth and diversification strategy, reinforcing and solidifying its position in the market for the operation and maintenance of infrastructure, including water and wastewater treatment plants, lifting stations, and networks in the municipal and industrial sectors. The transaction results in the operational integration of CTGA/Enviman into Luságua, an Aquapor group company, enhancing the operational skills and national presence of the three entities to strengthen their capacity for response and efficiency post-integration.

Nader Antar, President of Saur International, states: “CTGA and Enviman both hold prominent positions in the Portuguese market, built on over 30 years of experience and knowledge, which will help strengthen Saur’s leadership position in Portugal. This acquisition brings us closer to our Group’s ambition of becoming the champion of the water transition by 2030.”

“With this acquisition, Aquapor will further strengthen its leadership position in the O&M sector in Portugal, with companies that have the best growth track record in their class,” says António Cunha, CEO of Aquapor. He emphasizes that “the know-how of companies with decades of experience in the national market is an added value for Aquapor, as it contributes to the creation of important synergies for the development of more sustainable solutions to address the water management challenges of the future.”

Hugo China, CEO of CTGA, states: “It is with great pride and honor that I see CTGA and Enviman integrated into a world-renowned organization, such as the Saur Group. The strategy we once adopted for the growth and consolidation of our companies in the sector in Portugal has now been recognized by this international Group, where values and identity are shared. We are now focused on serving our clients, both public and private, with innovative and efficient solutions for water management, always seeking the best practices based on solid and sustainable knowledge. The ambition and strategy outlined will aim to strengthen Aquapor’s position in its journey and objective, with total commitment and dedication to achieving goals and challenges in our joint mission.”
