Macquarie Infrastructure Group Company History

Because Macquarie Infrastructure Group (MIG) serves as an Infrastructure Trust in Australia, it was qualified to be listed and included on the ASX or Australian Stock Exchange in 1996.

In 1997, the company invested in the Airport Motorway Group. The company was then recognized by the Sydney’s Eastern Distributor. In 1999, the company started to expand outside Australia by acquiring the French construction company named Bouygues to give renovation and development to the toll road located in North German, the city of Rostock. After acquiring two assets owned by Norwegian Company Kvaerner, the company changed its name to Macquarie Infrastructure Group formerly known as Infrastructure Trust of Australia Group.

Midland Expressway was completely owned by the company in 2000. The company also controlled the Airport Motorway Group and Sydney’s M4 toll-road.

The company with the Grupo Ferrovial agreed to take on a listing of constructions owned by Cintra Company. In October 2004, Cintra and the company had a joint venture and agreed with the City of Chicago to operate the Chicago Skyway.

In 2005, a corporate reform program was completed by the company. As part of the reform, MIBL, a Bermuda mutual fund business company was incorporated.
