Rönesans Named Among the World's Top 50 International Contractors for the 11th Consecutive Year
- Engineering News-Record (ENR) has released its 2026 "Top 250 International Contractors" list, one of the construction industry's most respected global benchmarks.
- Based on revenue generated outside contractors' home countries, the list places Rönesans among the world's top 50 international contractors for the 11th consecutive year.
Over more than three decades of international operations, Rönesans has completed over 1,000 projects in nearly 40 countries and generated USD 50 billion in international project revenue to date. Working alongside 3,500 Turkish manufacturers and subcontractors, the company also brings Turkish engineering expertise, production capacity, and services to markets around the world.
ENR's ranking is based on revenue earned outside a company's home market, so it says more about a company's ability to win work and compete internationally than it does about overall size. That's what makes Rönesans' run here notable, the company has now held a top 50 spot for 11 straight years and continues to hold a strong position among European contractors too.
Dr. Erman Ilıcak on Eleven Years Among the World's Top 50 International Contractors
Reflecting on Rönesans' international journey of more than three decades,
Dr. Erman Ilıcak, Honorary President of Rönesans Holding, said,
"Eleven years is a long time to hold your ground. In that period, the world changed more than once - we lived through a pandemic, wars broke out, an energy crisis hit, and financing conditions shifted under our feet. In every region we operate, from Europe to the Middle East, from the CIS countries to Africa, a new challenge came along almost every year.
"In moments like that, deciding how to respond is key. Our teams adapted to each new situation, found solutions, changed course when they had to, and kept moving. Over the long run, what makes you strong is how you adapt together when the plan changes.
"For 11 years, we've stayed among the world's top 50 international contractors. The world changed in that time, and we changed too. We moved into new countries, built new partnerships, and developed new capabilities. But we stayed consistent with our culture of collaboration and problem-solving.
"There’s so much more depth behind the ranking. An incredibly capable team I’m proud of has been pulling in the same direction across the globe - our engineers and architects, our finance professionals, our business partners. This is a large organization that has grown up together over the years. What Rönesans does well is act with the same mindset across different geographies and under different conditions.
"Our USD 50 billion in international project experience, and 11 straight years on this list, leave us with an even bigger responsibility looking ahead. I want to thank every colleague at Rönesans around the world who takes ownership and helps us meet the new challenges each year brings."
