Founded in August 1997, Steconfer has a history of projects related to all railway construction and maintenance activities in the global market

Steconfer provides comprehensive rail solutions from engineering to procurement, construction, integration, testing and commissioning, including inservice maintenance support with field staff for Urban Transportation Systems (Tram, Light Rail, Ultra-Light Rail and Subway Transit Systems); Heavy Rail Infrastructures (Commuter, Regional, High-speed and Heavy Haul Systems) and Depots.

The company has a track record to be proud of – 25 years of project delivery compliance in all its projects, six countries with its catenary installed and commissioned, a complete package of infrastructure railway systems, CBTC and ERTMS installation expertise, more than 800 kilometres of signalling installation systems, over 1,000 kilometres of railway track installed in different types and gauges and experience on both green and brown field and system migration projects execution.

The focus on internationalization has always been the starting point and the main business strategy for the company, which allowed Steconfer to reach countries such as Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Qatar, Mozambique, Taiwan, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Philippines, Israel, Peru, United Kingdom, and Canada.

One of Steconfer’s success factors for its recognition and growth is the way it views its human capital. Steconfer believes that people are the key to creating value, hence a major focus on training and technical specialization of its teams.

The company promotes a corporate culture of collaboration based on a committed team where everyone feels their work is relevant and recognized, always striving to secure labour values of integration, respect, diversity, and equal opportunities within a multicultural environment.

One of the increasingly important principles of the company is sustainability.

Steconfer believes that its projects and activities must be guided by social and environmental responsibility, improving the living conditions of the communities where it operates and promoting a sustainable future.

After 25 years of activity, Steconfer preserves the same principles and values from its inception: technical competence, innovation, professionalism, teamwork, sustainability, social responsibility, safety, and well-being of its employees. Although aware of the challenges ahead, Steconfer keeps the same energy to face them for the next 25 years.
