40 years in engineering
History
Our origin
The GHENOVA Group’s raison d’être goes beyond conventional engineering and we maintain a firm commitment to safety, sustainability and innovation, with a clear international vocation.
Diversification, the key to growth
1984-2000
Our beginnings
Our origins date back to the mid-1980s, when we began providing consulting and engineering services from Seville in traditional sectors such as industry, energy, infrastructure, and shipbuilding. Starting in the 1990s, we became the leading engineering firm in the shipbuilding sector, a position we have maintained to this day and which has enabled us to capitalize on other business opportunities through various synergies.
Until the end of the 20th century, the GHENOVA Group’s growth and expansion were driven by its provision of comprehensive engineering services and its establishment in locations close to its main clients, enabling it to offer personalized, high-quality service.

External expansion
El Grupo empieza a crecer a partir de adquisiciones de empresas con capacidades complementarias a las nuestras e invirtiendo para establecerse donde existen talento y oportunidades de negocio, manteniendo nuestra filosofía de acompañar al cliente en todas sus necesidades de servicios de ingeniería.
The Seville office, the Group’s registered office, will soon be joined by other offices in different parts of Spain: Madrid, Ferrol, El Puerto de Santa María, Cartagena, Vigo, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Bilbao and Córdoba complete the national map of our locations to date.
In 2010, with the opening of the first subsidiary in Brazil, GHENOVA began its expansion into Latin America, establishing a solid presence in the region.
The Group subsequently reinforced its commitment to global growth by opening offices in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia.
We also capitalize on growth opportunities by strengthening our core business lines, such as the acquisition of SIMAN, our advanced logistics and maintenance support software product, which perfectly complements our services in the security and defense sector. On the other hand, generating disruptive technologies in the field of renewable energies such as Blue Solar or Wind to Power.
