The successful finalisation of this transaction has paved the way for Tractebel Engineering and Lahmeyer to take the first steps of their joint journey towards worldwide leadership and excellence in energy, water and infrastructure.
Lahmeyer, a company based in Germany was previously owned by Capiton GmbH. Lahmeyer (lahmeyer.de) as a leading consultancy engineering company specialised in energy and water, and infrastructure projects generates around 80% of its revenues outside of Europe, namely in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
The new entity will be able to deliver technical and project management services from a broader platform. With a combined staff of 4400 experts, a local presence in 34 countries and projects in over 140 countries, annual revenues will reach €600 million.
This acquisition is fully in line with the Group strategy of GDF SUEZ to further develop the energy services business on a broad international scale. The resulting stronger engineering resources will also reinforce the Group for the development of new projects worldwide.
Finalisation of the transaction has taken place on December 23rd 2014, following customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
