Continental Engineering Corporation is recognized as one of Taiwan's prominent contractors and developers, specializing in major public and private-sector construction as well as long-term land and community development. CEC is one of only a handful of companies licensed in Taiwan to engage in both construction and development. Founded in 1945 in Chongqing, China by Mr. Glyn T. H. lng, CEC has from its beginning participated in projects for national reconstruction, helping to rebuild a country ravaged by eight years of war and unrest. With relocation to Taiwan in 1948, CEC engaged extensively in national infrastructure engineering projects. Over the course of the last half century, CEC has built military installations, factories, power plants, highways, tunnels, bridges and mass-transit systems. In this way, CEC has played an important role in Taiwan's economic growth and development. In addition to infrastructure construction, CEC has successfully completed many important public and private-sector projects, such as hospitals, hotels, office buildings, universities, and other educational and research facilities, and the development of CEC's multi-story condominiums and new residential town communities. Innovations that CEC developed range from ventilation windows which are safely accessible to children, to space-efficient scissor-shaped stairs (for condominiums), to the underpinning method first used in the construction of the Grand Hotel, the Chinese palace-style landmark in Taipei. CEC was awarded the Silver Medal for Construction Technology Automation for the development of steel caisson used for deep foundation excavation on sites with special soil conditions (for Northern Taiwan Second Freeway's Bih-tan Bridge). CEC's development strategy focuses on fortification of its core business. Projects such as the Taiwan High Speed Rail (currently the world's largest BOT project) and urban rapid transit system integrated development accelerate technical, operational, and structural growth, enhancing the company’s strengths in international strategic cooperative projects. Aware of the transition of the domestic construction away from high-yield real estate investment, CEC has adjusted its focus. While emphasizing premium properties in prime urban development zones, CEC seeks to contribute to a more comfortable, quality living environment at the community level.

CEC International Corp. (India) Pvt Ltd. engages in the provision of engineering and construction services. It specializes in environment projects, high speed rail, tunnels, and high end buildings. The company was founded in December 2005 and is headquartered in Gurugram, India.
