The following is a brief description of each company:
Aliva-Stump C.A - In 1958 Aliva De Venezuela C.A, a subsidiary of Aliva A.G of Baden, Switzerland was formed. They began work in Venezuela, initially constructing railway tunnels and bridges for the expansion of major roads. These projects marked them as a prestigious company, with a reputation that they are still very proud to uphold. Ten years later in 1968 Stump De Venezuela C.A was created (as a subsidiary of Stump Bohr A.G of Zurich, Switzerland), pioneering duplex construction systems. Projects included the Venezuelan Central Bank and the buildings and towers of the Central Park, in Caracas. In 1972 both companies joined forces to become Aliva-Stump C.A. The company has grown to over 900 employees today. Since then they have been involved in the construction of casinos, residential complexes, shopping centres, industrial installations and a number of hotel complexes. Some of the landmark projects include the American Embassy in Caracas, the Nestle industrial complex and the Orinoco Iron (BHP) plant to name a few.
