Company Response
Kaita thanked the organizers for the recognition, stating that the award represents more than a corporate achievement. “Tonight, we celebrate more than concrete, steel and asphalt,” he said. “We celebrate vision, resilience, and the transformative power of infrastructure in shaping economies, connecting communities, and improving lives.”
