Headquartered in Cyprus, with more than two decades of history working in the Middle East and Africa,
PAC International has already contributed several important projects to Equatorial Guinea’s development, including the construction of offices, hospitals and government buildings, as well as a cable-stayed bridge and a cultural center in Malabo and a modern public library in Bata.
“This country is progressing very well,” says PAC International’s Managing Director, Roger Pereira, an entrepreneur from the Republic of the Congo who works side-by-side with the president of Equatorial Guinea. “You must win the confidence of the government. When you do that, you have excellent potential. The buildings here are going up very fast, so much so that there are times when we run out of cement in the country or there isn’t enough local manpower.”
Companies like PAC International have helped Equatorial Guinea remake itself with modern buildings and infrastructure that meet world-class standards of quality and sophistication. The government always requires a thorough study of any proposed work, Mr. Pereira concedes, but he says that this process is critical to sustaining the country’s accelerated pace of development, not just today but for years to come. “If you do good work and are well organized, you can grow. You have to know how to invest for the long term. The first few years won’t generate large returns. They only serve to build your workforce.”
The company’s philosophy can be boiled down to a few core values. PAC International dedicates itself to taking a holistic approach toward design. That’s why its experienced architects, designers and project managers immerse themselves in each client’s operational and commercial requirements, achieving the final effect of functional practicality enhanced with aesthetic rigor. With an acute awareness of modern construction technologies and methods, PAC International leans on its experienced technical partners who are committed to maintaining quality control at every stage of each project. Its in-house procurement team ensures that all materials are purchased from the best international suppliers and that freight is managed efficiently, delivering quality while meeting tight budgets and aggressive timescales.
PAC International prides itself on its superior end-results, determined by the attention to detail that goes into every step of design and construction. Always using experienced craftsmen, they ensure that important bespoke elements are finished to the highest standards, creating exceptional structures that contribute to healthy living and working conditions. “This society has opened itself up to working and to transforming the life of the country, not just for making money,” Mr. Pereira concludes.
“There are a lot of opportunities, not only for businesses but for people as well.”
