Berta Consrtuction Plc.

BERTA Construction was established in 1969 by two civil engineers named Berhane Abate Ali and Tadesse Haile-Selassie.
Soon after its establishment, the company was engaged in various types of civil engineering projects.
These included construction of roads, bridges, dams, irrigation schemes and water supply systems throughout Ethiopia.
The company also built hotels, residential units, office buildings and factories all over Ethiopia.
As a result of its effective performance, BERTA has gained the appreciation and respect of both its employers and competitors.
However like many other private companies, BERTA was nationalized in 1982 by the Marxist regime and was under government
administration for 11 years until it was returned to its legitimate owners by a court order in 1993. After BERTA was returned
to its owners, the company has once again re-organized itself and launched a series of work programs through revitalizing the
existing work force and equipment fleet. As a result, the company was able to complete a number of building construction projects
that were inherited while it was run by the government. Furthermore, the company has won several new construction projects which
the company has completed or is working on at the present time.
