New-build projects awarded or continued in 2025 included the Atlantique building for Chantiers de l’Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, northern Brittany (works packages for power, lighting and communications, building automation system, photovoltaics, HVAC, smoke extraction, plumbing), the Bioprojet research centre in Saint-Grégoire, central Brittany (HVAC, photovoltaic panels, building management) and three cruise ship terminals at the port of Le Havre, Normandy (HVAC, plumbing, electricity). In Switzerland, VINCI Energies deployed the entire electrical infrastructure for the new Festhalle in Bern, from high-voltage power supply to event- management technology, laying some 740 km of cables in the process. The new 9,000-seat venue will generate new opportunities in the events sector for the city, the canton and the region.
VINCI Energies is one of the leaders in the fire protection industry in Germany and France. In France, its business units have been involved in projects such as the refurbishment of Safran Power Units’ site, where Uxello will be providing fire protection for the manufacturing, logistics and office areas, and the renovation of the Passy Kennedy complex, where it is installing the sprinkler system. In Germany, the VINCI Energies business units specialised in fire protection were active on several projects, including EEW Energy’s new waste-to-energy plant in Stapelfeld (Schleswig-Holstein).
In maintenance and facilities management, the business units deploy integrated, multi-site solutions for public and private sector customers under multi-year contracts that include energy performance and carbon reduction targets. In 2025, they won a five-year facilities management contract encompassing 28 NaTran (formerly GRTgaz) sites in the western part of France. The contract is for technical work (power, lighting and communica-tions, HVAC and minor technical maintenance) and services. VINCI Energies also won a five-year contract with Safran for the maintenance of a number of tech-nical installations (HVAC, plumbing, compressed air, automatic opening systems, lifts, power, lighting and communications systems, etc.) across 13 sites in France. Lastly, VINCI Energies provides multi- technical maintenance for 132 buildings in the Loiret department in central France (schools, administra-tive buildings, etc.), as well as the local fire and rescue service station and living quarters, covering a total surface area of 340,000 sq. metres.
The year was marked by two major acquisitions in Germany: the R+S Group (annual revenue close to €200 million), based in Fulda (Hesse), an expert in electrical installation, automation and HVAC in the building sector, and Zimmer & Hälbig (annual revenue approaching €100 million), a specialist in the design, engineering, installation and maintenance of technically demanding HVAC solutions, mainly for hospitals, laboratories, industrial facilities, clean rooms and data centres. These two acquisitions will strengthen the network of companies active in Building Solutions in Germany.
