Molins acquires Zenet to expand its industrialised construction footprint in Europe

Molins has expanded its precast concrete solutions business through the acquisition of a 90% stake in Zenet, a Spanish manufacturer of reinforced and prestressed precast concrete components. Located in Escalonilla (Toledo, Spain), the acquisition will enable Molins to meet the strong demand for industrialised housing construction in central Spain. Zenet’s founder, César Abad, will remain a shareholder and continue to support the business following the transaction.

Operating from a production facility set on a 184 000-square-metre site, Zenet has a monthly capacity of 45 000 square metres of precast elements and employs 50 specialised professionals. The transaction strengthens Molins’ capacity to address growing demand for industrialised residential construction across central Spain and neighbouring markets.

Established in 2007, Zenet supplies precast solutions for residential, industrial and civil engineering projects. Its product portfolio includes hollow-core slabs, a key component in modern industrialised building systems, valued for their efficiency, speed of assembly and structural performance.

The integration of Zenet will allow Molins to expand its structural precast offering, increase production capacity and improve operational efficiency, reinforcing its position in a construction market increasingly focused on productivity, sustainability and reduced build times.

According to Higini Alfageme, Executive Vice President of Molins’ Precast Business, “The acquisition of Zenet marks a significant milestone in our strategy to scale industrialised construction solutions. It strengthens our production capacity through the integration of a highly specialised team and a company that has been built with strong operational discipline and long-term vision. Zenet’s solid track record, together with the leadership of its founder, César Abad, has positioned the company as a reference in its field. His continued involvement and the integration of the team will further enhance our ability to deliver high-value structural solutions and reinforce our position in a rapidly evolving market.”

With this transaction, Molins continues to advance its growth roadmap in precast concrete solutions, aimed at building an industrial network with broader geographic coverage and closer proximity to key demand markets, while strengthening its capabilities and portfolio to accelerate industrialised construction. This marks the third acquisition announced by Molins in its precast business in recent months, following the acquisition of Concremat in Portugal and Baupartner in Southeast Europe.
