What COSAPI does

COSAPI S.A. is a Peruvian engineering and construction company founded in 1960, publicly traded on the Lima Stock Exchange under ticker COSAPI, headquartered in San Isidro, Lima. The company operates through four business units: Cosapi Ingeniería y Construcción (core EPC services for buildings, infrastructure, and industrial plants), Cosapi Minería (large-scale earthworks and open-pit mining services), Cosapi Concesiones (infrastructure public-private partnerships including the US$5.49 billion Lima Metro Line 2 and US$405 million Majes Siguas irrigation concession), and Cosapi Inmobiliaria (residential real estate development in Lima). It serves enterprise and government clients in mining (Antamina, Anglo American, Hudbay, Shougang, Southern Copper, Cerro Verde, Chinalco, Continental Gold), banking (Banco de la Nación, BCP, Interbank), energy (ENGIE), and government infrastructure, executing projects across 13 countries with 5,001-10,000 employees and an operating capacity of 26 million man-hours per year.

The company monetizes primarily through project-based competitive bidding and long-term service contracts. Core engineering, construction, and mining services are delivered under multi-year EPC and professional services contracts with private and public sector clients. Concessions generate revenue through PPP arrangements with multi-decade horizons, and real estate generates one-time unit sales. The technology stack includes Virtual Design and Construction (VDC), BIM 4D/5D planning, SAP S/4HANA ERP, and proprietary digital tools (CosapUp, COSAPIA AI HR system, digital production reporting, Tareo Digital, infrared fatigue monitoring). Revenue grew from US$65 million in 2005 to US$419 million in 2013 (30.5% CAGR 2010-2013), with subsequent expansion via mega-concessions and digital productization expected to have materially grown the revenue base. COSAPI maintains first-in-market certifications across ISO 9001 (since 1999), 14001, 45001, 37001, and 37301 (first in Latin America construction sector), and a USD 10+ billion concessions pipeline.
