WITH THE NEW YEAR, A NEW COMPANY - TPF Planege Cenor In the last week of December 2016, the merger between TPF PLANEGE and CENOR became effective and now they are a single company, TPF Planege Cenor - Consultores de Engenharia e Gestão, S.A.. Two large companies have joined together to give rise to one of the major Portuguese Engineering and Consultancy companies, with a consolidated turnover of 40 MEUR and around 250 collaborators in 14 countries – Portugal, Angola, Algeria, Cape Verde, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, United Arab Emirates, Macao (China), Mozambique, Poland, Romania, Timor-Leste, Tunisia and Turkey. We have created an international company in size and strength, capable of competing in the most competitive markets in all areas of Engineering and Architecture consultancy. 2016 was a year marked by the integration process, which was made in a quite fast way, since the acquisition of Cenor by the parent company of TPF Group, about a year ago, that was based on the assumption of its merging with TPF Planege. Thus, we prepared ourselves for a big journey confident that with the competence, effort and dedication of all, this will lead us to become better in a better world.
