PORRPioneering spirit since 1869
PORR AG was founded in 1869 in Vienna as a joint stock company under the name Allgemeine Österreichische Baugesellschaft (General Austrian Construction Company). Since then, the company's shares have been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
The discoveries of the civil engineer Arthur Porr at the beginning of the 20th century led to a major advance in the construction of concrete structures, and the company secured its technological leadership in 1927 by merging with Porr to form the joint venture Allgemeine Baugesellschaft - A. Porr Aktiengesellschaft (General Construction Company - A. Porr, joint stock company).
