During the period in which Talde has been a shareholder in Retineo, the company has experienced significant development and has achieved important goals. One of the most relevant achievements has been the important international expansion that has enabled it to be present in countries such as Peru, Colombia and Morocco.

Furthermore, it has become a local and international reference in the execution of rehabilitation and restoration projects as well as in singular works and in new housing works with a high level of quality in its execution.
The positioning achieved by the company is reflected by the 165% growth it has had in its projects portfolio since 2013, in the solid financial position reached in this period and in the top-level team of nearly 100 professionals that the company currently has; of which more than 50% have a university degree and with whom proposals to clients can be evaluated, selected and submitted with a significant success rate.
