ISTANBUL, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Over more than three decades of international operations, Rönesans has completed over 1,000 projects in nearly 40 countries and generated USD 50 billion in international project revenue to date. Working alongside 3,500 Turkish manufacturers and subcontractors, the company also brings Turkish engineering expertise, production capacity, and services to markets around the world.
ENR's ranking is based on revenue earned outside a company's home market, so it says more about a company's ability to win work and compete internationally than it does about overall size. That's what makes Rönesans' run here notable, the company has now held a top 50 spot for 11 straight years and continues to hold a strong position among European contractors too.
The achievement carries weight for because its story started outside Türkiye. The company built its name by expanding internationally and competing head-to-head with some of the world's largest firms, then brought that experience home to invest in Türkiye. Rönesans first appeared in the ENR ranking in 2006, in 86th place.
To date, Rönesans has partnered with 3,000 manufacturers and 500 subcontractors based in Türkiye on its international projects. Across its international operations, the company has employed 28,853 Turkish professionals, including 3,500 engineers and architects, and the total workforce involved in these projects has reached 271,888.
Reflecting on Rönesans' international journey of more than three decades, Dr. , President Emeritus of Rönesans Holding, said,
Since launching international operations in 1993, Rönesans has built a footprint spanning multiple regions worldwide. Its international portfolio includes some of the most complex engineering projects out there, among them the Lakhta Center, Europe's tallest building, the Gotthard Base Tunnel beneath the Swiss Alps, the Gaasperdammertunnel in the Netherlands, the country's longest highway tunnel, and a natural gas to gasoline production plant in Turkmenistan.
The economic impact of Rönesans' international work reaches well beyond the company's own project revenues. International contracting pulls in a wide value chain, engineering, architecture, finance, legal services, building materials, logistics, and technology. Through its work with more than 3,500 manufacturers and subcontractors based in Türkiye, Rönesans has procured and exported over USD 2 billion worth of goods and services over the past decade alone.
This work gives Turkish companies a way into new markets, while giving Turkish engineers, architects, and managers real experience on some of the world's largest projects.
Europe remains central to Rönesans' international growth strategy. In 2009, the company acquired a 10% stake in the Austrian construction group PORR, one of its first major moves into Europe. That was followed by the acquisition of a subsidiary of the Alpine Bau Group in 2013, Germany's established engineering firm Heitkamp in 2014, and Dutch construction company Ballast Nedam in 2015. After a thorough restructuring under Rönesans, Ballast Nedam returned to profitability within three years.
