In a storage yard, rows of precast beams stand ready for delivery, each tagged, tracked, and timed for its destination. You could easily think they’re just ordinary beams, but these are designed to reduce carbon emissions, minimize material waste, and optimize energy efficiency.
Formed in 2005 by the merger of two industry leaders with over 100 years of experience, Consolis continues to set the standard for sustainability in construction and infrastructure transformation with its market-leading precast concrete solutions.
With operations in 17 countries and a workforce of 7,600, the group closed 2024 with €900 million in sales and achieved major milestones in sustainability, innovation, digital transformation, and innovation.
“In 2024, we continued to deliver on our strategy – strengthening customer relationships, advancing sustainability, and creating value in each local market with the support of our exceptional teams,” said Eduard van der Meer, CEO of Consolis.
With a comprehensive network of local subsidiaries, Consolis is uniquely positioned to lead the way by continuously optimizing design and manufacturing processes. Their controlled production environment allows them to minimize raw material usage, reduce energy consumption, and create versatile, lower-carbon products like hollow core slabs and walls.
The market for integrated workspace management systems (IWMS) is growing fast, driven by the need for commercial real estate pros to increase efficiency, cut costs, and boost sustainability.
In 2024, ECPC (Egyptian Company of Prestressed Concrete) by Consolis, recognized the need to modernize its core IT landscape to meet the evolving demands of the construction and infrastructure sector as well as to accelerate its sustainability initiatives. Their objective was to transition seamlessly to a private cloud infrastructure with minimal disruption to ongoing business operations.
ECPC initially partnered with another provider, gaining useful insights, but ultimately learned that successful transformation hinges on choosing a partner with the right skills for the project. This experience reinforced the value of clear goals, open communication, and a partner who understands both the technology and the unique business context to ensure smooth execution.
Using the RISE with SAP methodology, ECPC by Consolis was able to analyze and optimize its existing business processes, uncovering new opportunities for efficiency and innovation. Maintaining operational continuity during the transition was essential to keeping projects on schedule and ensuring that infrastructure commitments to communities remained on track.
This transformation provided a unified and efficient operational model, built on a single Service Level Agreement (SLA) that covers both technical and application services. By bundling ERP, infrastructure, tools, and transformation services into a single contract, Consolis could streamline and unify core operations, accelerate decision-making through real-time insights, improve IT cost control and scalability, ensure compliance and strengthen data security, and support long-term sustainability and digital agility.
In the construction industry, this means teams can coordinate more effectively across planning, procurement, and site execution—reducing delays, improving resource allocation, and adapting quickly to shifting project demands.
Built-in security features and compliance support ensured ECPC by Consolis met industry standards, mitigated operational risks, and protected sensitive business data in a secure environment. In construction, where project data flows across suppliers, contractors, and field teams, this level of protection is vital to maintaining trust, avoiding costly disruptions, and keeping delivery schedules on track.

As ECPC by Consolis continues to lead the sustainable transformation of the precast concrete industry in Egypt, its transformation through RISE with SAP provides the technological backbone for future growth and innovation as well as inspiration for other Consolis subsidiaries around the world.
With a modern, intelligent digital core in place, ECPC’s digital and sustainable approach ensures materials are optimized, carbon emissions are reduced, and waste is minimized. ECPC by Consolis is better equipped than ever to support its customers and their communities with innovative, low-carbon precast solutions.
It’s a step toward greener cities, cleaner air, and a future where construction doesn’t cost the planet.
