Norwest Holst is the result of the merger in 1969 of Holst & Co. with Norwest Construction
Holst & Co., founded in 1918 by a Danish engineer, focused on reinforced concrete structures, whereas Norwest Construction, based in Liverpool as of 1923, was specialised in laying underground cables.
Together, the two companies gave rise to one of the largest building and civil engineering groups in England. In 1991, SGE acquired a controlling interest in Norwest Holst, thereby reinforcing its presence in Europe.
