Introduction about the company

For 2025, Vinci expects further growth from new concessions and infrastructure projects, despite pressure from higher costs and an announced French tax increase.
History & development
Vinci traces its origins to 1899 when Alexandre Giros and Louis Loucheur founded the Société Générale d'Entreprises. After a merger with GTM in 2000, it received its current name. Over the years, Vinci has completed iconic projects such as the Channel Tunnel, Stade de France and the Pont de Normandie. Recent expansions in airports, including Gatwick and ANA Portugal, and the acquisition of FM Conway in 2024, underscore its international ambitions.
Sector & competition
Vinci operates in the global construction and infrastructure sector, in which it competes with companies such as Bouygues, Eiffage, Strabag and Skanska. The company is distinguished by a unique combination of long-term concession contracts and a broad portfolio of construction and energy projects. This mix ensures stable cash flows and less cyclicality.
