Webuild S.p.A. (previously Salini Impregilo S.p.A.; ) is an Italian industrial group specialising in construction and civil engineering. The company was formally founded in 2014 as the result of the merger by incorporation of Salini into Impregilo. Webuild is the largest Italian engineering and general contractor group and a global player in the construction sector.

The company is active in over 50 countries of 5 continents (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania) with more than 85,000 employees. Its experience ranges from the construction of dams, hydroelectric plants and hydraulic structures, water infrastructures and ports, to roads, motorways, railways, metro systems and underground works, to airports, hospitals and public and industrial buildings, to civil engineering for waste-to-energy plants and environmental protection initiatives. It takes first place in the water sector of the Engineering News-Record rankings, the benchmark for the entire construction industry.

The company is listed on the Borsa Italiana. Its chief executive is Pietro Salini.

History

The company was founded as Impregilo in 1960 and expanded following a merger with Cogefar-Impresit S.p.A., Girola S.p.A. and Lodigiani S.p.A. in 1994.

Impregilo established a business relationship with Fisia in 1998, and acquired Todini in 2010.

In 2011 Salini, privately held, began its acquisition of Impregilo with an initial purchase of shares, reaching 25% the following year. The acquisition set a precedent in Italy because it was the first proxy fight for control of a company to occur in the country. Despite the opposition it faced from a group of investors, Salini managed to convince enough shareholders at an assembly in July 2012 to approve its proposal to replace Impregilo’s board of directors with its own list of candidates. Once in place, these new members of the board approved Salini’s offer to buy the rest of Impregilo. Pietro Salini became chief executive. A few months later, the board approved Salini’s plan.

In 2013, Salini launched a tender offer to buy the remaining ordinary shares in Impregilo. In January 2014 the transaction was completed forming Salini Impregilo.

In 2016, it bought Lane Industries, based in Connecticut and, in 2019, it announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Cossi Costruzioni.

In May 2020, the company was rebranded as Webuild. In November 2020, Webuild acquired a 65% shareholding in Astaldi.

In November 2022, Webuild announced that, subject to due diligence, it would acquire the Australian based company Clough Group.

The group is organised into four business areas: Clean Hydro Energy, Clean Water, Sustainable Mobility, Green Buildings. The company's projects include 313 dams and hydroelectric plants; 13319 km of railway lines; 3408 km of underground works, 821 km of which subway lines; 82533 km of roads and highways; and 1020 km of bridges and viaducts.
