The outlook for the construction sector which has mainly been affected by the ongoing recession depends on the investment opportunities that arise for the construction of infrastructure works such as roads, ports, marinas, airports, hotel complexes and vacation housing, energy networks and renewable energy sources, in conjunction with the existing ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) funds that can be absorbed and applied to such investments, and concurrently with increased Community participation.
Over recent years, despite the difficult economic environment, the INTRAKAT Group has steadily maintained its financial position and the outlook for 2011 is expected to follow along this path, since the company’s backlog as of June 30, 2011 amounted to €210 million in addition to €95 million in new contracts which it has been awarded and awaits their signature.
Furthermore, INTRAKAT Group is expecting developments in the environmental (natural resource management, green development projects) and the waste treatment areas and has consolidated its strategy accordingly.
