Leveraging over two decades of experience in real estate and complex project execution, Yuvalim has expanded its operations to Portugal – focusing on the Lisbon region and its surroundings. Alongside new developments in the Portuguese real estate market, the company identified a critical need through in-depth market research: a severe shortage of skilled construction labor, leading to project delays, higher operational costs, and compromised execution quality.

To directly and effectively address this challenge, YUREX was established with the backing of Yuvalim, as an advanced workforce solution platform – bringing a new vision, smart management systems, and hands-on field experience.

In addition to construction, YUREX also extends its workforce solutions to the agriculture sector, responding to the increasing demand from farms and agribusiness companies across Portugal.
