In 2013, the Graña y Montero Group acquired 100% of DSD Construcciones y Montajes S.A. (DSD), a Chilean engineering and construction company specialised in providing services to the energy, oil and gas, cellulose and mining sector in Chile and Latin America. The previous year it had acquired Vial y Vives, also in Chile. CEO, Mario Alvarado, explained at the time that these were strategic investments to strengthen Graña y Montero’s presence in Chile. Speaking of the DSD acquisition, he said “this is Graña y Montero’s third investment in Chile and it confirms our objective to grow in that country and in a regional level, in line with the objectives outlined in the recent capital raising process carried out in the New York Stock Exchange”.
