PDS Construçōes & Mining LDA was founded in 2014 by Mr. Paulo dos Santos,
after having pondered the dream for many years. Surrounding himself with a
highly experienced and professional technical team, the formula for success
was put to work.
PDS Construçōes & Mining LDA is specialized in providing integrated solutions
for the mining sector, delivering strategic services that support mining
operations from planning to execution.
With a strong focus on efficiency, safety, and sustainability, the company
operates as a trusted partner for small, medium and large-scale projects.
Mr. Henrique Pinho is the driving force behind PDS Construction’s transformation into a high-impact, multi-sector infrastructure and mining company in Mozambique. With over 30 years of proven leadership across Africaʼs most demanding project environments, he brings a rare combination of strategic vision, operational depth, and execution excellence.
Under Mr. Pinho’s leadership, PDS has rapidly evolved from a conventional civil construction company into a diversified platform spanning infrastructure development and strategic mining services. Over the past 15 years, he has successfully guided the company through sustained growth, positioning it as a trusted delivery partner known for reliability, technical strength, and long-term value creation in complex and emerging markets.
Before leading PDS, Mr. Pinho built an exceptional track record during his 20- year tenure at Stefanutti Stocks SA, where he held senior executive roles including General Manager. He led large-scale, capital-intensive infrastructure projects across Angola and Mozambique, covering highways, major
earthworks, and bridge construction—projects requiring precision, scale, and disciplined execution in challenging environments.
