Philosophy

Magyar Építő Zrt. has been one of the oldest and most significant players in the Hungarian construction industry for more than 130 years.

The company was founded in 1889 during the industrial development boom at the end of the 19th century. The company was established as a subsidiary of the Ganz Group, and in a relatively short time gained a professional reputation in the field of plant construction. With this profile, the company played a decisive role in the reconstruction of Hungary after the Second World War. As part of the Ganz Group, it became a state-owned company in 1946. In 1952, the company was placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction and, based on its operational structure, continued its activities under the name of the state-owned State Construction Company No. 21. In the next four decades, the company operated primarily in the Budapest area as one of the leading construction industry organizations. Its activities have always been characterized by high professional standards and the use of the most modern technologies.

At the end of the eighties, the company was one of the first to reform its activities: it responded to unfavorable changes in the economic environment and the narrowing of construction opportunities by expanding its profile and modernizing its internal structure. The company's well-educated management and qualified employees provided a good basis for the changes, as a result of which the company became a real general building builder: in addition to productive investments, the construction of public and private buildings, historical restoration of buildings and large reconstructions were also part of its scope of activities.

In 1992, it was transformed into a joint-stock company, so it continued to operate under the name Magyar Építő Rt. The state-owned company was soon privatized, and nearly 98% of the company's shares were owned by management and employees, and 2% by the Capital City Municipality. The managers and employees who became the owners of the company at that time reorganized their company and turned it into a flexible and market-sensitive organization in line with the changed business and economic environment.

Thanks to its balanced economic activity, Magyar Építő Zrt. was able to maintain its stability during the recent recession and remained a reliable partner to its customers and subcontractors.

The latest phase of the company's history began with another significant change in 2015, when approximately 79% of the company's shares became the property of Körösaszfalt Mélypító Zrt. The approximately two decades that have passed since the privatization in 1994 made it timely for the new, complete restructuring of the company, in order to adapt to the requirements of the new ownership structure and the changed, reviving market environment. As part of this process, West Hungaria Bau Kft. and Építő es Épületkarbantártó Zrt. acquired joint control over Magyar Építő Zrt. at the beginning of 2016 through a management agreement with Körösaszfalt Mélyépítő Zrt. as the dominant owner. All the professional qualities of the company group created

This provides a suitable framework for Magyar Építő Zrt.'s unwavering high standards spanning historical eras to continue to play a significant role in the development of the domestic construction industry and in raising its professional standards.

Magyar Építő Zrt.'s work is well-known, characterized by buildings that define the Budapest cityscape and large-scale rural developments, as evidenced by numerous prestigious awards.

In addition to industrial buildings, health and educational institutions, office buildings, luxury hotels, spas and sports facilities, he also has extensive experience in the field of green field investments and the reconstruction of iconic heritage buildings.

Social Responsibility

Social responsibility shows the general responsibility of the company in terms of economic, ecological and social aspects related to sustainable management. Our company is committed to carrying out its activities not only taking economic aspects into account, but also doing it all in a sustainable way, taking into account its employees, the environment and society.

In previous years, the Ecumenical Relief Organization received our support, and our company also participated in the restoration of flood-damaged areas.

In 2019, we supported the medical care of the future generation and the preservation of their health with a material donation worth 3.5 million to the Heim Pál Children's Hospital.

In 2019, we also helped the work of the Maltese Charity Service. The consortium building the Puskás Arena donated the wood material released during the construction to the organization, who delivered the 500 m3 pallets that can be used as heating material to disadvantaged settlements.

Magyar Építő regularly supports the Semmelweis University I. Sz. Bókay Children's Clinic and Heim Pál Children's Hospital with medical equipment.

The Ecumenical Aid Organization "Starting school together!" within the framework of its aid campaign, the company also contributed to the access to the tools necessary for disadvantaged children to start school.

The SOS children's village in Kecskemét also supported the renovation of the Kuckó Children's Transitional Home together with the partners of Magyar Építő Zrt.

We have reduced our use of office paper to a minimum and we encourage our partners to do the same in our electronically sent letters.
