In accordance with the memorandum of understanding signed on March 19, 2026, and following approval of the transaction by the competition authorities, Colas finalized, on May 29, 2026, the acquisition of the road construction and recycling activities of the Frauenrath Group, a family business established in Germany since the late 19th century. This transaction marks the first road construction acquisition in the country.
The Frauenrath Group's construction and recycling activities (road construction, urban development, circular economy) employ approximately 420 people across the sites in Heinsberg (North Rhine-Westphalia) and Großröhrsdorf (Saxony), and generate a turnover of approximately 150 million euros (2025).
This new acquisition, following that made by Colas Rail in the summer of 2022, of the Hasselmann group, based in Thuringia and specializing in the construction of railway tracks and railway infrastructure, allows the Colas group to have strong footholds in the heart of Europe and the world's third largest economy.
