Athens, Greece / Stuttgart, Germany, September 22, 2026. International consulting, planning and project management company Drees & Sommer continues to strengthen its presence in Southern Europe by welcoming Athens-based ENOIA S.A. - the Athens-based Greek unit of Future Group and a leading Greek engineering and consulting company - to the Group.
Founded in Athens in 1987 and acquired by Future Group in 2007, ENOIA S.A. is a multidisciplinary engineering and project management company with expertise in process and piping engineering, industrial facilities, energy and water infrastructure, and sustainable mining. Particularly, ENOIA S.A. has served from the outset as owner's engineer for one of Europe's most emblematic sustainable mining investments, while its wider experience indicatively spans through life sciences and data center facilities, to low-carbon industrial plants integrating carbon capture including cement production, recycling facilities for the textile industry and others.
The partnership represents an important milestone in Drees & Sommer's international growth strategy. By combining the complementary strengths of both companies, the Group will be able to offer clients even more comprehensive engineering and consulting services throughout the entire project lifecycle.
The move significantly expands Drees & Sommer’s presence in Greece, where it has been supporting clients for several years with consulting, project management and sustainability services. Around 100 ENOIA employees will join Drees & Sommer Greece, increasing the company’s workforce in the country to approximately 150 professionals across Athens and Thessaloniki.
Addressing the major transformations shaping industry and infrastructure
The merger combines complementary capabilities at a time when industry and infrastructure are being reshaped by decarbonization, digitalization and resource efficiency. Demand is growing across battery and semiconductor manufacturing, advanced production, water and energy infrastructure, sustainable mining and circular industry.
By combining Drees & Sommer’s international consulting, engineering and project management expertise with ENOIA’s strong capabilities in process, piping and utility engineering, the enlarged organization is ideally positioned to support clients across every stage of project development and delivery.
ENOIA significantly enhances Drees & Sommer's engineering capabilities in fields including process industries, water treatment, energy infrastructure, power generation and electrolysis. Its expertise spans all project phases, from concept development and engineering design to procurement support and project implementation.
Strengthening engineering excellence and international delivery capabilities
"The merger with ENOIA is first and foremost a strategic investment in engineering excellence. ENOIA brings highly specialized expertise in process engineering, industrial infrastructure and water that perfectly complements our existing portfolio. Together, we can deliver even more integrated solutions for our clients and create new growth opportunities across Europe and selected international markets," said Steffen Szeidl, Chief Executive Officer and Partner of Drees & Sommer.
ENOIA joined Future Group Holdings, the Dubai-headquartered international holding company, in 2007 and has been part of its industrial portfolio since. As ENOIA's shareholder, Future Group is a party to the partnership with Drees & Sommer.
“For Future Group, this partnership is a natural step. Our joint ambition is to build a global hub in Greece for industrial and process engineering translating into real commitments to the Greek economy with significant hiring to serve our traditional markets in energy, industry, water and infrastructure, and equally the sectors defining the next decade: life sciences, the energy transition, data centers, microchip production and artificial intelligence in support of the country’s priorities and its global outreach,” said Imad Makhzoumi, Managing Director of ENOIA.
The expansion also represents a strong vote of confidence in the quality and depth of Greek engineering expertise. By bringing together its teams in Athens and Thessaloniki, Drees & Sommer aims to further strengthen Greece’s role as an engineering hub within its international network, supporting projects in Greece as well as selected assignments across Europe and other international markets.
Creating additional value for clients in industry and energy
While Greece remains an important market, the rationale behind the investment goes far beyond regional expansion. The combined expertise will enable Drees & Sommer to support increasingly complex industrial, energy and infrastructure projects with enhanced engineering capabilities across multiple markets.
"Many of our clients are looking for integrated solutions that combine strategic consulting, engineering and project delivery. ENOIA adds precisely those specialized engineering capabilities that are becoming increasingly important in the transformation of industry and energy systems. Together, we are creating additional value for clients and positioning ourselves even more strongly for future market opportunities," highlights Veit Thurm, Partner of Drees & Sommer.
A partnership built on proven collaboration
The strategic fit between Drees & Sommer and ENOIA has already been demonstrated through successful joint projects as early as 2024, including for a battery manufacturing facility in Northern Germany. The collaboration combined Drees & Sommer’s EPCM expertise with ENOIA’s strengths in process, piping and wastewater engineering, highlighting the complementary capabilities of both organizations.
Close cooperation at shareholder, management and project level, together with a shared entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to innovation, sustainability and client success, laid the foundation for a trusted partnership. The merger is therefore a natural next step, enabling both companies to expand their market presence, strengthen their delivery capabilities and create even greater value for clients across Europe and beyond.
Shared values as the foundation for long-term success
“Reflecting the expertise and potential of our people, this partnership marks an exciting new chapter for ENOIA and provides a strong platform for ambitious growth. Together with Drees & Sommer, we aim to establish Greece as a major engineering hub and build a distinctive international footprint by delivering increasingly complex and sustainable projects across Europe and beyond,” said Dr. Vassilios Deligiannis, General Manager of ENOIA.
"What impressed us from the very beginning was the strong cultural fit between both organizations. We share an entrepreneurial mindset, a commitment to technical excellence and a strong focus on creating value for our clients. With ENOIA joining Drees & Sommer we are strengthening our process engineering expertise and expanding our ability to deliver complex industrial projects in an international network, opening up new opportunities for our employees and clients while allowing us to build on the strengths that have made ENOIA successful," said Anastasios Chatzinikolaou, Associate Partner of Drees & Sommer.
ENOIA’s existing management team will continue to lead the company and drive its successful development together with Drees & Sommer. The former owners of Future Pipe Industries and Future Group will also remain closely connected to the business and support its future growth journey. This ensures continuity for clients and employees alike while opening up new opportunities within Drees & Sommer’s international network. Going forward, the company will operate under the name 'ENOIA – Part of Drees & Sommer.'
Both partners see considerable potential for further growth and collaboration. By combining ENOIA's engineering expertise with Drees & Sommer's international footprint, multidisciplinary know-how and client network, the partnership creates a strong platform for future development in Europe and beyond. Drees & Sommer acquired ENOIA S.A., the Greek entity of the ENOIA Group.
