Micheletti & Co.

What Micheletti & Co. does

Micheletti & Co. is a Ghanaian civil engineering and building construction company founded in 1955 by Italian entrepreneur F. Micheletti and incorporated in 1963 under the Ghana Companies Code. Since 2004 the firm has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trassaco Group Limited, executing projects from its Accra headquarters across Accra, Tema, Kumasi, Sunyani, Kasoa, and Takoradi. The company has completed more than 200 projects spanning commercial, institutional, industrial, sports, and infrastructure segments. Notable technical capability is evidenced by Ghana's first certified Green Building (One Airport Square), the Green Star Office (V1) Four Star rating, EDGE certification, Financial Class D1 and K1 classifications, and in-house seismic-isolation foundation expertise.

The firm delivers through a project-based contracting model, bidding for tenders from corporate, governmental, and multilateral clients — frequently in joint venture with international engineering firms such as MAPA, Co-Arc/OOA/Arup JV, and BET TCE & MTC France. Its roster of named customers includes IFC/World Bank, Bank of Ghana, Access Bank, MTN Ghana, Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, Embassy of France, Siemens Energy, OLAM, Barry Callebaut, and Multichoice. Signature projects include Kotoka International Airport Terminal 3, the IFC/World Bank office in Accra (approximately 6,800 sqm), One Airport Square (approximately 32,000 sqm), and the Tarkwa and Abosso Sports Stadium (valued at US$16.2 million). The company was recognized as Green Building Company of the Year in 2021.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the firm is privately held, with no funding rounds on record. Its competitive position rests on Ghanaian regulatory pre-qualification (Class D1 and K1), green-building certifications that are scarce in the local market, long-tenured technical capability, and an established track record on large institutional and infrastructure mandates that displaces smaller competitors on pre-qualification lists.
