Brisa - Auto-estradas de Portugal, S.A. (Euronext: BRI) is Portugal-based international transportation company. The group's largest business area is highway management, in which it is the largest concessionaire in its home country. Founded in 1972, Brisa also has significant operations in countries including Brazil, the United States and the Netherlands. Since 2000 Brisa's largest shareholder has been the investment company Grupo José de Mello, which owns over 30% of its stock through various subsidiaries. The Spanish infrastructure company Abertis also holds around 15% of the firm. The company is listed on the Lisbon Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the PSI-20 and Euronext 100 indices.
Operations
Portugal
In Portugal Brisa exclusively operates the following motorways with a concession lasting until 2035:[1]
- A1 - Auto-estrada do Norte
- A2 - Auto-estrada do Sul
- A3 - Auto-estrada Porto/Valença
- A4 - Auto-estrada Matosinhos/Amarante
- A5 - Auto-estrada da Costa do Estoril
- A6 - Auto-estrada Marateca/Caia
- A9 - CREL - Circular Regional Exterior de Lisboa
- A10 - Auto-estrada Bucelas/Carregado/IC3
- A12 - Auto-estrada Setúbal/Montijo
- A13 - Auto-estrada Almeirim/Marateca
- A14 - Auto-estrada Figueira da Foz/Coimbra Norte
Brisa also owns 50% of Auto-Estradas do Atlântico, operator of the A8 and A15 motorways until 2028;[2] 70% of the Brisal concession, which is licensed to run the A17 road until 2034; and with a 55% stake heads the Douro Litoral consortium which will operate the A32, A41 and A43 motorways until 2034.[3]
Other major investments held by the company within Portugal include 75% of the Via Verde electronic toll collection system, also used in car parks and for other purposes;[4] 100% of roadside assistance firm Brisa Assistência Rodoviária; and 60% of Controlauto, a chain of outlets offering vehicle inspection services.[5]
The company has recently signalled its intent to diversify into other modes of transportation. In December 2009 a Brisa-led consortium was awarded a contract to construct the first stage of a high-speed rail link between Lisbon and Madrid by the Portuguese government, giving it a 40-year concession to operate the line within Portugal.[6] Brisa, along with Mota-Engil, also heads the Asterion consortium which intends to bid for control of the Portuguese airport authority ANA should it be privatised by the government; and with it the right to construct and operate the proposed replacement for Lisbon's international airport in Alcochete.[7]
International
Brisa holds an 18% stake in Companhia de Concessões Rodoviárias (CCR), Brazil's largest highway concessionaire.[8] In the United States, Brisa and CCR have been 90%-10% partners in the operation of the Northwest Parkway toll road near Denver, Colorado since 2007.[9] The firm also owns 30% of Movenience, the electronic toll collection system used in the Western Scheldt Tunnel in the Dutch province of Zeeland.[10]
