ISTACO steel structures and a view of sustainable development in the construction industry

Economic growth is affected by, and subject to change from, any change in income or unforeseen political, economic or social changes, internal or external, to a country; economic development, however, being institutionalized, is durable and safe from the damage of crises and unforeseen domestic or foreign developments.

Our approach when founding the ISTACO group of companies focused on development, not growth. In this approach the priorities are customer orientation, commitment to fulfilling obligations, use of expertise and up-to-date technologies, quality and speed of construction and execution at the lowest possible cost, higher productivity, maximum use of domestic resources, research and development, an outward-looking approach to exporting products and services, and continuous contact with customers as partners of the group even after a project or structure is completed and delivered.

Adhering to these principles has made the group resilient and has brought it sustainable development. Certainly this would not have been possible without winning the trust of hundreds of investors who chose ISTACO as their business partner and without institutionalizing it in the thinking of all the group's colleagues.
