Latin America and Angola, both strategic regions of operation for Odebrecht, received the Organization’s first projects at the start of its internationalization process. In 1979, Odebrecht arrived to Peru and Chile. In 1984, the company won its first project in Angola.

Today, Odebrecht América Latina e Angola is present in the following countries: Angola, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Dominican Republic.

Upon arriving to these markets, the Organization found the need to train new professionals who were committed to the principles and values of the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO). The challenge proved to be benefit for the company, since it allowed it to diversify its talents and maintain the quality standard of the services provided on a global level.
