In 47 BC, Julius Caesar addressed a letter to the Roman senate in which he penned the famous words “Veni, Vidi, Vici: I came, I saw, I conquered.” Though the spelling is a bit off, Vinci has done quite a bit of conquering themselves within the French construction industry. From the metrics alone, Vinci SA, a company founded in 1899 stands out far and away as the leader of the pack among France’s top construction companies. Beyond its size, however, Vinci’s sheer presence around the world in all things construction is something to marvel at. The company’s operations include designing, building and financing systems of public transportation, development of urban infrastructure, and ongoing upkeep of roads, bridges, buildings, and any other infrastructural elements you might be able to conceive of. Among other works, Vinci has been made famous for projects such as the new entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Tour Montparnasse, and the Pont de Normandie. With over 100 years of history and exponentially more examples of successfully-completed construction works, it’s little wonder how Vinci has conquered and maintained a vice grip on construction in France.
That being said, these were the top 7 construction companies in France.
