Webuild’s Salini: satisfaction for Fitch rating upgrade to “BB+”
Reward for Group’s solid industrial model, strategic vision to help countries develop
MILAN, May 30, 2025 – “We welcome with satisfaction this recognition on the part of Fitch Ratings: the upgrade to “BB+” of Webuild’s financial rating confirms our solid industrial model and the coherence of our strategic vision, both of which have guided the choices that we have made for years. This recognition of our solid business profile is guided by the choices that we make every day to strengthen our geographic diversity, leadership position in solid markets and multiple sectors, arriving at an order portfolio that guarantees revenue visibility for the coming years. It is the result of years of commitment, teamwork in the most difficult of contexts, as well as investment in safety, innovation, sustainability and human capital,” said Webuild Chief Executive Pietro Salini.
“Webuild has been a company of national importance, leading an important industrial supply chain. It has also beena point of reference for the country and for international markets. The Group is able to generate value not only for investors but also for the communities where we design, build and deliver large, complex infrastructure - even in the most challenging conditions and potential instability in markets. We have shown our ability to face and resolve complexities that emerge at the global level, thanks to a rigorous governance system and clear choices made in low-risk markets, in sectors of high impact on the gross domestic product that guide a country’s growth. The trust that our clients give us, both public and private, is the result of a continued operating dependability, ability to deliver and quality of our work,” Salini said.
“In a moving global context, we have shown how to grow in a responsible and sustainable way, maintaining visibility and stability for the long term. This achievement is also a positive signal for the thousands of businesses and workers that comprise the supply chain in the sector, and who work alongside us in Italy and the world. Webuild is a driver of employment and growth in communities, an industrial motor that promotes sustainable development, legality, expertise and social cohesion,” he added.
