West Group recorded turnover of €43 million in the first half of 2026, with infrastructure accounting for the majority of its business as the Romanian construction group expanded activity across projects in Romania and Germany.
The company, which operates in construction, property development, construction materials and logistics, generated approximately 60% of first-half revenue from infrastructure projects. Residential activities represented 35%, while logistics contributed the remaining 5%.
West Group founder Dan Crăciunescu said the distribution of revenue across several business areas has helped the company combine growth with greater operational stability.
“The first half of the year confirms the efficiency of our integrated business model and our ability to capitalise on opportunities in the market’s most dynamic segments,” Crăciunescu said.
In Romania, the group’s West Beton concrete production and delivery operation has supplied a range of residential and infrastructure developments. These include Nusco City, HILS Nord, HILS Sunrise, Media City Ghica 2 Apartments, Pipera H, Horizon City and The Edition 1011.
Infrastructure-related activity includes Bucharest’s Metro Line 6, the Bucharest Ring Road and the A0 motorway.
The performance comes during a period of comparatively strong construction activity in Romania. According to National Institute of Statistics data cited by the company, construction activity increased by 12.4% during the first five months of 2026, supported particularly by residential development and infrastructure works.
West Group is also active in Germany, where its current workload includes the expansion of the A8 motorway near Pforzheim and work connected with a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Dresden.
During the first half, the company completed structural works for an ING office project in Frankfurt and finished its involvement in the expansion of the Mercedes-Benz plant at Sindelfingen.
Property development remains another important component of West Group’s business, led by KronenPark Residences in the Pipera-North Bucharest area.
Residential units with a combined value of approximately €4 million were contracted between January and June. More than 52% of homes in the project’s first phase have now been contracted, pre-contracted or reserved, according to the developer.
Sales have covered the project’s different unit categories, ranging from double studios through to premium four-room apartments.
Crăciunescu said buyer behaviour indicates that demand has not disappeared despite a more cautious economic environment, but has become increasingly dependent on construction progress, quality and confidence that projects will be delivered as promised.
West Group invested more than €2 million during the first six months of 2026 to expand its fleet and increase operating capacity.
Purchases included five concrete mixer trucks, two stationary concrete pumps and 45 minibuses used for employee transport. The group currently employs approximately 950 people across its Romanian and German businesses.
The investment reflects the scale of the group’s construction workload, particularly its exposure to large infrastructure projects where concrete production, transport capacity and workforce mobility are important elements of project execution.
West Group also cited Construct Intelligence data indicating that 26,018 construction projects were registered across Romania during the first half of 2026, representing an estimated investment value of RON 612.88 billion.
Residential construction accounted for 11,833 of those projects, while industrial and infrastructure development also maintained significant activity.
For West Group, the current composition of the Romanian construction market closely matches its own revenue structure. Infrastructure has become its largest source of turnover, while residential development provides a second substantial business line and its German operations add geographic diversification.
The €43 million first-half result therefore reflects not only the performance of its own residential developments, but increasingly the group’s participation in a wider pipeline of transport, industrial and major property projects across the two markets.
