Eiffage S.A. is a French civil engineering construction company. As of 2010 it was the third largest company of its type in France, and the fifth largest in Europe.[2]
History
The company was formed in 1992 through the merger of several long standing companies, namely: Fougerolle (founded 1844), Quillery (founded 1863), Beugnet (founded 1871), and La Société Auxiliaire d'Entreprises Électriques et de Travaux Public, better known as SAE (founded in 1924).[3][4]
The company often teamed up with other businesses for various purposes. During 2009, the British company Carillion teamed up with Eiffage to jointly pursue work in the nuclear sector.[5]
