Madrid, 12 February 2026. Lantania exceeded its new contract targets in 2025, closing the year with record growth. The infrastructure, water and energy group secured new projects worth €804 million during the year, representing a 51% increase compared with 2024. This strong performance reinforces the company’s market position and strengthens a diversified, high-quality pipeline of work that ensures business continuity and provides strong medium-term visibility.

In line with this growth, the Group’s project backlog reached €1.1 billion in 2025, up 6.8% year on year, representing activity coverage equivalent to more than two and a half years of revenue.

Since its founding in 2018, Lantania has secured contracts worth more than €2.8 billion in total. The Group is currently preparing its strategic plan for the next five years, setting out a new roadmap focused on profitability, operational efficiency and selective growth in both Spain and key international markets.

Lantania’s Chairman, Federico Ávila, noted: “These new contract awards not only demonstrate the strength of our team and our technical capabilities, but also reflect our ability to grow in a highly competitive market and deliver strategic projects. These achievements expand our presence in key markets and strengthen our position in priority sectors such as water and energy, with sustainability, operational efficiency and technical excellence always at the forefront, ensuring solid, long-term growth for the company, our clients and society.”

Lantania further strengthened its international footprint over the course of the year. Overseas projects accounted for 63.5% of new contract awards, with entry into three new markets. Through its Water division, the Group began operations in the Republic of North Macedonia and Turkey, and it also established a presence in Italy with new Energy projects. Lantania now operates in 16 countries.

The Water division delivered strong growth, accounting for 48.5% of total new contract awards and reinforcing Lantania’s position as a leading global player in hydraulic engineering and integrated water management. Among the most significant contracts secured during the year were the design, supply, construction and commissioning of two major desalination plants in Saudi Arabia, Ras Mohaisen and Jubail, with capacities of 600,000 m³/day and 300,000 m³/day respectively. The company was also awarded the expansion of the Ankara drinking water treatment plant.

Infrastructure, Maintenance and Services remain a cornerstone of the Group’s activity, representing 33.5% of total new contract awards. Key projects secured include the construction of Seville Metro Line 3, the urban development of Los Pocillos in Madrid, and various contracts for the modernisation, maintenance and efficiency improvement of public infrastructure in the Madrid region, among others.

The Energy division accounted for 18% of new contracts, including the construction of three solar parks in Italy, two 50 MW photovoltaic plants in eastern Spain, and the traction power substation (TPS) for the new southern rail access to the Port of Castellón. In addition, the self-consumption segment continues to strengthen as a strategic growth area, with notable contracts such as the 4.5 MWp photovoltaic installation currently under construction for the Alicante desalination plant.

Through this combination of sector diversification, geographic expansion and disciplined operations, Lantania continues to reinforce its leadership in water, infrastructure and energy, while optimising resources and building long-term relationships with public and private clients. The company remains focused on innovation and sustainability, key differentiating factors in an increasingly demanding and competitive market.
