Direct peers

• Techint Engineering & Construction: Latin America-based EPC contractor with comparable end-to-end engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning capabilities across power, oil & gas, mining and industrial sectors. Closest like-for-like peer by geography, service mix and project scale.
• Cobra Group (VINCI Energies): Spanish-origin EPC with deep Latin American footprint in turnkey power generation plants, gas turbines and industrial facilities. Directly comparable project-based model and customer overlap in LatAm utilities.
• TSK: Spanish EPC contractor with significant operations across Latin America in power plants, boilers, industrial facilities and renewables. Similar mid-sized EPC profile, project-based contracts and turnkey execution model.

Regional players

• YPF Ingeniería: Argentine engineering and construction arm focused on oil & gas and energy infrastructure in Latin America. Highly comparable customer base and regional project orientation, though tied to YPF parent.

Broad incumbents

• Fluor Corporation: Global EPC incumbent with extensive Latin American energy, oil & gas and industrial project history. Competes with SCMI on the same tenders at much larger scale and balance-sheet capacity.
• Saipem: Major global oil & gas EPC contractor with significant Latin American operations in pipelines, refineries and production facilities. Overlaps with SCMI's O&G and pipeline business sectors.
• Bechtel: Global EPC leader executing large-scale energy, infrastructure and industrial projects including in Latin America. Competes for the same mega-project tenders as SCMI.
• Worley: Global energy, chemicals and resources EPCM provider with strong LatAm presence in power and O&G. Comparable services in project execution, engineering and commissioning for the same customer types.

Emerging players

• McPhy Energy: European hydrogen equipment and project specialist overlapping with SCMI's hydrogen engineering and EPC capability. Comparable in the emerging hydrogen infrastructure space, though McPhy is technology-led rather than EPC-led.

Others

• Bayotech: U.S.-based hydrogen production technology company and a current SCMI customer. Comparable as an emerging hydrogen infrastructure player and ecosystem participant in the hydrogen value chain SCMI is building around.
