In the view of the complementarity of the Group companies, and in response to the demands of the process of product distribution in 2009, Themaguia - Exportação e Importação was created.Africa emerged naturally in the expansion strategy, as an alternative market, not only by the ties which unite us with the African people, but because it is where is an emerging need for infrastructure, which led to thecreation of various programs of water supply and sewerage in local populations, as well as encouragement of irrigation projects that are the mainstay of growth of food production.With the growing contribution of African markets, reduced dependence on the Iberian market, this has overcome the crisis in the construction sector.
