Concor Holdings Ltd. is a South African construction company. It is active throughout southern Africa, involved in mining, civil engineering, building and road projects. It was listed on the JSE Securities Exchange and, for the year ended June 2005, Concor's last year as a listed company, had an annual turnover of 1.6 billion Rand.
Dr F. Piccini, the original founder of Construction Corporation, registered the company in Johannesburg on April 28 1948. The other four founding members were M. Barnabo, B. Chiozzi, U. Mantelli and V. Cini. The original name Construction Corporation was finally shortened to CONCOR. Dr Piccinni was originally a chairman of Ferrocemento, an Italian construction giant and the emerging CONCOR received it technical support initially from there.
The company's first major project was the construction of the Rand Sports Stadium in Johannesburg followed by contracts for the Pretoria and Johannesburg power stations. Another initial iconic project was the Storms River bridge which was designed by Dr. Riccardo Morandi of Rome, this bridge was for many years the highest and longest single span bridge in South Africa.
Concor Holdings was delisted on 30 June 2006 when 100% of its share capital was purchased by the Murray and Roberts Holdings.
The Concor and Murray and Roberts construction divisions were sold to a black owned consortium in late 2016 and renamed Concor Construction in May 2017.
