You may be thinking that Eiffage is just a big construction company, but there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. This is the headquarters of Eiffage, the third largest construction company in France. It’s a behemoth in the business, responsible for some of the most impressive projects in France and even internationally. Eiffage was born from the merger of several companies, the oldest of which, Fougerolle, was founded in 1844. This company helped build the 174 km Nivernais canal connecting the Loire and the Seine, a crucial waterway for trade and transportation in the 19th century. Eiffage has been around for centuries. They’ve helped to create many iconic structures. From the Channel Tunnel to the Millau Viaduct, the company has played a prominent part in shaping modern France. But Eiffage has also stepped beyond the borders of France to work on international projects. They built the largest lock in the world in the port of Antwerp, Belgium. Their impact is global, and they’ve been involved in the creation of some of our generation’s most ambitious projects. Standing here at the heart of the company, you can almost feel the energy and passion that drives their work. It’s a company with a rich history and a bright future, a company that will continue to shape our world, one project at a time.
