EGIS Group Plans US$800 Million Investment in USMCA Region

While the United States will receive the largest portion of the investment, the company said Mexico is set to receive a significant part in the form of acquisitions and participation in infrastructure concessions.

Mexico has become one of the company's Top 10 markets, doubling in size and reaching US$55 million in revenue with a workforce of 1,200 employees. The country plays a key role in EGIS Group’s strategy, given its projected population growth and increasing infrastructure needs. By 2050, Mexico's population is expected to reach 150 million, which will require significant investment in transportation, institutional buildings, and mobility solutions. "Mobility is a challenge, electromobility is another challenge, while pollution, the environment, and the quality of life in cities are other challenges we must address. Yes, we will actively participate as EGIS Group, we are trained to tackle these problems and propose solutions,” said Jesús Muñoz, CEO LATAM and Director of Mexico, EGIS Group.

While EGIS Group remains optimistic about North America's future, the company acknowledges that potential tariff threats could impact Mexico. Despite these concerns, the firm believes that the economic dynamism of the United States will continue to have a positive spillover effect on Mexico, supporting the growth of infrastructure projects and business opportunities across the region. 

EGIS remains confident that North America’s overall economic performance will drive demand, particularly in Mexico, as the country benefits from its proximity to the US and its growing infrastructure needs. “It may drive companies to modernize, grow, and become more innovative. This will not change Mexico’s long-term attractiveness, which remains strong, regardless of short-term challenges,” said Laurent Germain, CEO, EGIS Group.

As part of its expansion, EGIS Group plans to leverage its engineering capabilities in Mexico to support projects in the United States. The company considers it might need to offshore some engineering work to its Mexican teams, strengthening its operations in both countries. Additionally, EGIS is evaluating the acquisition of engineering firms specializing in infrastructure, particularly in transportation, while also exploring opportunities in energy in Mexico.

The company’s strategy also includes increasing its participation in private projects. Currently, 80% of its investments are in public projects and 20% in private projects, but EGIS Group seeks to balance this to 50-50 by expanding its work with private companies in engineering, construction, and rail projects.
