Aliva-Stump and Lusmetal Construcciones y Proyectos have been formal partners, as Aliplus,
for a number of years, working on a number of key construction projects throughout Venezuela.
As a result of this collaboration, they have developed large scale projects such as the expansion
of the International Terminal of Maiqueta Airport, La Ceiba Shopping Centre in Valencia, the
structure of Plansuarez in La Urbina and many more. Current projects include Biotech Labs in
Maracay, the Sigo Cerro Verde Shopping Centre, the Maruhanta Hotel complex, the Sigo Margarita
Shopping Centre, the Playa el Agua Hotel in Margarita, and the El Encantado residential complex
in Caracas. The following is a brief description of each company:
Aliva-Stump C.A – In 1958 Aliva De Venezuela C.A, a subsidiary of Aliva A.G of Baden, Switzerland
was formed. They began work in Venezuela, initially constructing railway tunnels and bridges for
the expansion of major roads. These projects marked them as a prestigious company, with a
reputation that they are still very proud to uphold. Ten years later in 1968 Stump De Venezuela
C.A was created (as a subsidiary of Stump Bohr A.G of Zurich, Switzerland), pioneering duplex
construction systems. Projects included the Venezuelan Central Bank and the buildings and towers
of the Central Park, in Caracas. In 1972 both companies joined forces to become Aliva-Stump C.A.
The company has grown to over 900 employees today. Since then they have been involved in the
construction of casinos, residential complexes, shopping centres, industrial installations and
a number of hotel complexes. Some of the landmark projects include the American Embassy in
Caracas, the Nestle industrial complex and the Orinoco Iron (BHP) plant to name a few.
