A European partner for industry - VINCI Energies

These solutions are provided primarily through the two network brands :

• Actemium, specialising in engineering and implementation, brings together over 100 business units in 12 countries.
• Opteor, the VINCI Energies brand dedicated to maintenance.

The Group’s business units are acknowledged for their expertise in continuous industrial processes, which they notably provide for their customers in the oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical and water treatment industries. They also have expertise in the manufacturing processes used to produce consumer goods and automobiles, for example.

Adaptation capabilities maintained the activity level in 2010

Although the effects of the crisis are still making themselves felt in industry, VINCI Energies business units were able to adjust to the difficult economic environment. Despite the postponement or cancellation of a number of projects, the Actemium and Opteor brands capitalised on their local roots and on the longstanding relationships they have built with their customers, supporting them throughout the world. The Group’s close knit, smoothly operating networks were key to strengthening its position in such sectors as pharmaceuticals, chemicals and power generation. VINCI Energies also staked out successfully a position in the aerospace sector.  

VINCI Energies brings innovating solutions to its clients

In the power generation markets (biomass, renewables, nuclear, etc.), where demand remains buoyant, Group business units provided their customers with turnkey solutions. In the food-processing sector and particularly in the beverage industry, Actemium developed an energy-saving water carbonation process that is carried out at room temperature.

In the aeronautic field, Actemium signed two major contracts with Airbus and Aerolia related to the manufacture of the A350. The contracts cover supply of assembly lines for the engine air intake units in Nantes and the nosecone in Méaulte. They include the installation of robotised cells for drilling and riveting operations. Actemium is also responsible for modifying the Nantes assembly line of the central segment of the A320, to integrate a new wing tip device called the “sharklet”, which will generate fuel savings.
