About us

In 2022, Ayesa doubled in size through the acquisition of three major companies: Ibermatica, a leading technology firm, M2C, data management and automation consultants, and ByrneLooby, an engineering consultant based in Ireland, the UK, and the Middle East. These acquisitions will expand Ayesa’s markets, capabilities, and geographic reach. In particular, the acquisition of Ibermatica has propelled Ayesa to enter the top 5 IT consultants in Spain. ByrneLooby will play a key role in driving growth in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Middle East, while the acquisition of M2C, which specializes in data management and automation technologies, will further enhance Ayesa’s services and solutions.

The company celebrated its 55th anniversary with a standout portfolio worth over 500 million euros. It achieved a significant milestone by entering the top 50 of the Top 225 Engineering Design Firms of the world (ENR ranking). To further solidify its position as a global provider of technology and engineering services, A&M Capital Europe invested in a majority stake of Ayesa, which has enabled the company to pursue strategic acquisitions.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Ayesa achieved a record turnover of 256 million euros by the end of the financial year and employed nearly 4,800 people. The company was notably awarded major contracts, such as the supervision of the redeveloped Bogotá Metropolitan Railway, which is worth 56 million dollars and is the largest contract the company has ever signed. In addition, Ayesa won a record amount of projects for major utilities and public administrations.

Ayesa’s business model, Engineering, Technology, and Consulting (ETC), centers on providing integrated engineering and technology services to its clients. Ayesa secured significant contracts, such as the redevelopment of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Additionally, AYESA successfully completed several desalination projects in the Middle East. By applying its ETC model, Ayesa is able to provide comprehensive services to clients in various sectors, including transportation, water, energy, and telecommunications.

Ayesa enters the Top 10 technology consultants in Spain by securing a contract worth 40 million euros in India. The contract involves providing direction and supervision for constructing a train line connecting Delhi with Meerut, making it the largest contract ever awarded in India’s history. Additionally, Ayesa launches new digital factory services for Industry 4.0

Ayesa solidifies its position in Eastern markets, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, India, and the Philippines: the company is one of the top 3 rail engineering firms in India, with contracts for eight of the twelve meters of lines currently under construction. Additionally, the company has provided services to Japanese clients in chemical engineering.

With the support of a robust R+D+i team, Ayesa leads several European research projects. In recognition of its innovative work, the company received the Netfficient award that year for its contributions to the development of energy management systems for groups of homes.  Ayesa also develops proprietary solutions in several areas, including big data technology, electric car fleet management, network loss reduction, and a diverse portfolio of applications.

Ayesa takes a major step towards becoming an ETC (Engineering, Technology, and Consulting) by acquiring a significant technology consultancy that specializes in providing solutions for the public sector and electricity distribution. The acquisition brings with it a team of 1,700 technicians who will help expand Ayesa’s capabilities in these areas. Additionally, the company has entered the aeronautical sector and secured its first contract with Airbus.

The year proved to be pivotal for Ayesa as it expanded its global reach by establishing new offices in Poland, Morocco, and India. In addition to this, the company secured the contracts for two iconic projects in Latin America – the Panama metro line 2 and the Atotonilco treatment plant in Mexico City, which is the largest of its kind worldwide. Furthermore, Ayesa established an Mexican subsidiary with a concentration on technological installations.

Ayesa acquired a leading Catalan chemical process engineering firm, which was then integrated into the group. This move proved to be a pivotal starting point for the company’s expansion into the industrial sector, where it would go on to establish a reputation for excellence in the yeast, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas sectors.

3 years ago, Ayesa had established an office in Mexico which had been a key driving factor for growth and reputation. The Acueducto II project stands as a remarkable engineering achievement, further solidifying Ayesa’s reputation for world-leading engineering services. As a result of its continued success, the company tripled in size.

Ayesa secured its first high-speed tender for the Madrid-Barcelona AVE, and also won initial projects for the Pan-American highway in Peru. Additionally, the company achieved a milestone by becoming the first Andalusian firm to specialize in SAP implementation with a team of 140 technicians based in Seville.

Ayesa played a crucial role as the technical driving force behind the Seville EXPO 92 project, contributing to the design of many of its elements. Notably, the company was responsible for the design of the Bridge, Puente del Cachorro, which set a record for its remarkable slenderness. Ayesa also founded a company dedicated to the development of ICT facilities, pioneering this field years before the emergence of the internet.

Ayesa carried out its first project abroad: the irrigation of Santa Elena in Ecuador and the company opened an office in Guayaquil. In that same year, Seville was designated as the venue for EXPO 92 with thirty professional technicians, participating in key projects. Additionally, Ayesa designed its first F1 circuit in Jerez.

With a team of twenty professionals, Ayesa had already gained strong reputation in developing complex infrastructure projects. One such project was the construction of the large Pedrera reservoir, which served as the recipient of the Tajo Segura transfer. This earth dam was built in the most seismic area of Spain, showcasing Ayesa’s expertise in managing challenging engineering projects.

Ayesa started its operations in Seville with only two engineers and five collaborators in a small office. Its focus on adopting new technologies led to the successful completion of a cutting-edge project, the Mathematical Model of the Madrid supply network, which was an unusual feat at that time.
