Nearing Visabeira — rebranded from Constructel Visabeira in February 2026 — is the telecoms and energy network engineering arm of Portugal’s Grupo Visabeira, backed by a €200 million minority investment from Goldman Sachs Asset Management. It operates in 11 countries including Sweden and Denmark, with revenues of roughly €2.2 billion in 2025 and more than 8,500 employees.
Nearing designs, builds, maintains and operates telecommunications and energy network infrastructure — fibre rollout, mobile networks, grid works — for operators and utilities. From its Portuguese base it has grown into one of Europe’s larger network-services groups, and its 11-country footprint explicitly includes Sweden and Denmark, making it one of the few Portuguese engineering-services companies with standing operations inside the Nordic market.
The February 2026 rebrand from Constructel to Nearing consolidated the group’s European and US network businesses under one global name, following the €200 million growth investment from Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Revenues reached approximately €2.2 billion in 2025, up more than 16% organically.
Nordic telecom operators and utilities outsource network construction and maintenance at scale, and field-services capacity is chronically tight. A Portuguese group with 8,500 technicians, Goldman backing and an established Swedish and Danish presence is structurally well placed as fibre densification and grid-reinforcement programmes accelerate across the Nordics.
February 2026: Grupo Visabeira launched the Nearing Visabeira brand, replacing Constructel Visabeira across its energy and telecommunications businesses in Europe and the US.
