Group profile VINCI, world leader in concessions, construction and related services(1) INCI has used the complementary nature of its traditional concessions and construction activities as a platform for growth, building its leading position(1) across the full spectrum of construction, V roadworks and electrical works business lines. A close-knit network of 2,500 profit centres, located primarily in Europe, supports its operations. The Group’s strong roots on each of its markets are re- inforced by the decentralisation, individual empowerment, entrepreneurship and networking that form the bedrock of its management model. Combined with a stringent risk control policy, this model has enabled VINCI to achieve profitability levels that make it the benchmark in its sector.
