Company Description

Since first going into action in 1909, the BESIX Group has over the years grown into a multidisciplinary company with a leading position in its markets: construction, property development and concessions. BESIX Contracting specializes in construction, infrastructure and marine works, often in contracts with a high level of complexity. In Benelux and France, the Group’s regional affiliates BESIX Infra, Belemco, Cobelba, Jacques Delens, Vanhout, Wust and Lux TP ensure a strong presence and a local approach.

With Franki Foundations, West Construct, Socogetra, BESIX Environment and Van den Berg, the Group offers specialist niche solutions for the building market like deep foundations, geo‑engineering, road construction, water treatment and cable and pipeline construction. Backed by our experience in our home markets, we have built up strong positions outside Europe. A typical example is the Middle East, where over a 50‑year period we have built up an impressive portfolio.

This diversification in activities and geography pays off by reducing our risk exposure.
