What conti does

The Conti Group is a privately held, family-owned holding company founded in 1906 and now led by fourth-generation Chairman and CEO Kurt Conti. It operates a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries including Conti Civil (infrastructure and heavy civil construction for public and private sector clients), Conti Federal (federal construction and engineering, disaster response, and environmental remediation), Conti Development (real estate development combining construction expertise with capital markets), Tenna (construction technology platform for equipment fleet operations with Procore integration), and Enkara (solar technology using cadmium telluride photovoltaics with nano-engineered anti-reflective coatings).

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts with federal, state, and municipal government agencies — including the US Army Corps of Engineers, Gateway Development Commission, Israel Air Force, and the F-35 program — and with private infrastructure clients. Conti Federal's work spans domestic and international federal projects (New Jersey, Florida, South Dakota, Israel). Tenna contributes a recurring subscription revenue stream through its equipment fleet tracking and analytics platform, which integrates with Procore's Daily Log tool. The group historically pursued solar EPC through CS Energy (formerly Conti Solar), achieving 1 GW of installed solar across ~200 projects before fully divesting to Ares Management and then American Securities between 2018 and 2021. The company also conducts opportunistic minority investments and exits in adjacent sectors (Edge Therapeutics IPO 2015, ORBCOMM, Greenwood Energy) as part of its portfolio management approach.

The company is headquartered in New Hope, Pennsylvania, with 501–1,000 employees across U.S. offices and a Conti Federal presence in Omer, Israel. It has been ranked an ENR Top 400 Contractor, has won 25 ENR Best Project awards since 2003, and has been named to Fortune's Best Workplaces in Construction for two consecutive years (2022, 2023). It does not publicly disclose consolidated revenue.
