Mexican businessmen Luis and Mauricio Amodio, currently Chairman and Vice Chairman of OHLA, have taken a decisive step towards consolidating their business project by increasing their stake in the company to 28.8%. The transaction, carried out through the acquisition of 100 million new shares for approximately €44 million, reaffirms their leadership in one of Spain’s most iconic construction companies, headquartered in the heart of the Region of Madrid’s financial district.
With more than 115 years of history and an international reputation in the infrastructure sector, OHLA is undergoing a period of solid recovery under the management of the Amodio family. Since its arrival in the region in 2020, the group has achieved a significant reduction in debt and returned to profitability, operating from its headquarters at Torre Emperador in Madrid. The Amodio brothers describe this new investment as a demonstration of their firm commitment to the company’s stability and sustainable growth.
This move goes beyond the corporate sphere, becoming a clear indicator of Mexican investors’ confidence in the Region of Madrid. The region has established itself as a first-rate strategic ecosystem, where legal certainty and a dynamic business environment facilitate the location of decision-making centres for major global companies. Madrid not only serves as the headquarters for leading corporations, but is also consolidating its position as the natural gateway connecting Europe and Latin America, attracting investment seeking a highly competitive environment with strong international potential.
The Amodio brothers’ increased investment in a company headquartered in the capital highlights the strength of the economic ties between Mexico and the Region of Madrid. The transaction reinforces the role of the Region of Madrid as a preferred gateway for Latin American capital into Europe, consolidating its appeal as a business hub and leading destination for high-value foreign direct investment.
