The CEO and creator of Fortis Group, Orest Sota, built this business from scratch. He decided to start a construction company based on the need and demand for high-quality concrete after being inspired by his family and driven by a strong desire to make a difference. He studied business administration at Kingston University in London, UK.
He began supplying materials of the finest caliber after many years of hard effort and experience. Since its founding in 2004, the company has effectively conducted business both in Albania and later in the bordering nations.
In Albania, the company first began to operate. As soon as it took control of the industry, it rose to the top position as the nation’s biggest producer of concrete and inert material. Strong expansion resulted from this, and growth was subsequently attained in other adjacent nations. The Fortis Group is able to offer the highest level of security to all the projects in which they are involved thanks to the support of a group of professional specialists from within and outside the nation.
The company’s aim has been focused on the production of eleven different types of materials, including gypsum-based products, cement products, tile and metallax adhesives, intermediate fillers, waterproofing products, ready-made repair mixtures, paint products, raw materials, flooring products, facade products, and primers.
Efficient product production is executed due to the disposal of two plants fully equipped with modern technology, providing the capacity needed to attain the best quality material based on European standards BS-EN 206. All of these achievements have led the company to lead the industry of producing construction materials, while continuously innovating the standards in technology and materials.
The Fortis Group continues to be the best in the business today. A number of Sanye University students have been welcomed as guests as part of their educational endeavors to learn about the complete production process of the facility. Students were able to learn about and gain experience with the process of several production sectors, such as laboratory setups and administrative capacities, with the help and direction of the company. As a method of capping off their visit to the company, the visitors received presents and had the chance to get more than just information—instead, they could have immersed themselves in the sector.
In the near future, the company’s objective will be focused on managing a more competitive market. As a 5 year plan, they intend to expand their construction field and extend their activity at a global level.
By expanding the company’s barriers, they aspire to become one of the biggest construction companies in the Balkans. Prioritizing quality assurance and the best work environment.
In order to lead the market, their mission relies on improving management methods, such as developing a system based on risk analysis; creating relationships based on mutual trust with customers and interested parties. However, the most important goal will be to improve their technology and therefore, their production system, in order to reduce as much as possible the impact material production has on the environment and human health. They know that by achieving all of their set goals, they will be the best construction company, not only in Albania, but in several other countries who choose to trust and believe in them.
