GTIE, the VINCI group's Energy and Information division, was created in 1972 under the name Union des Entreprises Electriques Régionales (UEER). It was designed to bring together three long-standing, recognised companies in the electrical sector: MJB (the result of from the merger of Mors with Jean Bouchon) Garczynski Traploir and Fournié Grospaud. In 1984, Compagnie Générale des Eaux (now called Vivendi) became the sole shareholder of UEER, which changed its name to GTIE. GTIE made several acquisitions. Soon, it included over one hundred companies. The group became leader in France in electrical engineering.
In 1996, GTIE became a direct subsidiary of SGE, and was expanded to include SDEL and Santerne. With a network of over 700 companies, GTIE is now a leader in Europe in engineering, integration and maintenance of information and energy systems.
