Birth Date 1927-03-29 Birthplace Lisboa Death Date 2009-07-22 Training Institution Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) Occupation Civil Engineer Entrepreneur Biographical Text António de Resende Valadas Fernandes was born on March 29, 1927, in Lisbon. He was one of the most important and most successful entrepreneurs in the construction sector in Portugal. He graduated in Civil Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). He joined as partner, together with Simões Cúcio, at Engil, in 1953, a year after the foundation of the construction company by Fernando José Saraiva and António Lopes de Almeida. He led to a refoundation of the company, being for four decades responsible for the presidency of the company. In 1978, the engineer started Engil's internationalization project in Venezuela. The contractor partnered with Caracas-based company Retosa, which allowed it to build several factories and, for example, Guri Dam. However, a less favorable economic environment conditioned this same internationalization, causing the process to be interrupted and only resumed years later. Engil reached a new milestone in its life in 1987, the year that Valadas Fernandes decided to create Engil SGPS. In 1989, Engil entered in Angola, in 1993 in Mozambique, in 1994 in Germany and in 1996 in Peru. Finally, in 2000, after the public takeover bid launched by the Mota family, which led to the creation of Mota-Engil, Valadas Fernandes left Engil. He served as chairman of the Advisory Board and Chairman of the Assembly, first from 1985 to 1987 and then from 1991 to 1993, of the Associação Nacional de Empreiteiros de Obras Públicas (ANEOP) and was a member of the general board of the Mário Soares Foundation. In his political career he also held positions of great importance. He was a member of the board of the Grémio Regional dos Industriais de Construção Civil e Obras Públicas do Sul, in which he was a member of the Corporate Chamber, representing the employers. He was also the vice-chairman of the Secção de Construção, Vidro e Cerâmica da Corporação da Indústria. At last, he was deputy to the Director General of Development of the Ministério do Ultramar, having participated in the X and XI legislatures in the industry section. António Valadas Fernandes died on July 22, 2009. Bibliography CASTILHO, J. (2010). Os Procuradores da Câmara Corporativa 1935-1974, António de Resende Valadas Fernandes. [online] App.parlamento.pt.
