STRABAG strengthens railway construction business with planned acquisition of Romanian BAWI Construction

STRABAG SE has today signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in BAWI Construction SRL, headquartered in Bucharest. With this transaction, the Group is taking another step to strengthen its position in the European railway infrastructure business.

BAWI is an established provider in the field of railway infrastructure, with comprehensive expertise along the entire value chain – ranging from construction and modernisation services to specialised works and its own component production. The company employs around 240 people and generated output of approximately 60 million euros in 2025. A strong team of skilled professionals and a specialised fleet of machinery enable a high degree of in-house production.

With the planned acquisition, STRABAG is further expanding its activities in one of the most important growth markets in Southeast Europe. The Romanian railway infrastructure market benefits from extensive investments and funding programs, particularly in connection with European infrastructure initiatives.

We see considerable future potential in the Romanian market and therefore aim to further expand our presence there. With BAWI, we are gaining an excellently positioned company with high technical expertise and a strong market presence. The acquisition allows us to strategically broaden our railway construction activities while reinforcing our value chain in a key future market. Péter Glöckler, Member of the Management Board of STRABAG SE responsible for the South + East segment

The completion of the transaction is subject to the usual regulatory approvals. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026.
