2024

Since the beginning of the year, the special civil engineering company Stump-Franki has been operating on the market as an independent service area under the PORR brand. This strengthens PORR's integrated approach as a full-service provider offering all steps along the value chain of a construction project from a single source.

2019

In April 2019, Stump-Franki Spezialtiefbau GmbH was formed through the merger of Stump Spezialtiefbau and FRANKI Grundbau. Both companies bring many years of experience and expertise to the joint venture and complement each other perfectly.
