BESIX

About

BESIX Group S.A. is a leading Belgian multidisciplinary company with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1909. Over more than a century, BESIX has evolved from a specialist in concrete works, initially known as Société Belge des Bétons (SBB), into a global construction powerhouse with a diverse portfolio spanning construction, property development, and concessions. The company operates on a worldwide scale, with a significant presence in Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, Africa, North America, and Asia. Its headquarters are located in Brussels, Belgium. BESIX Contracting, a core part of the group, specializes in complex construction projects, including infrastructure and marine works. The company's expertise encompasses a wide array of sectors such as buildings, civil works, environmental installations (including drinking water, wastewater treatment, and waste treatment facilities), sports and leisure infrastructure, and industrial projects. Notable achievements in BESIX's extensive portfolio include the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's tallest tower, buildings for the European Parliament in Brussels, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The group is also involved in cutting-edge projects like the Guggenheim Museum in Abu Dhabi and the Triangle Tower in Paris. Beyond construction, BESIX is active in real estate development, primarily in Western Europe through its subsidiary BESIX RED, and manages concessions through public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Europe and the Middle East. The company's in-house engineering department is a key differentiator, providing expertise in geotechnical engineering, concrete technology, BIM (Building Information Modeling), and system engineering. This integrated approach allows BESIX to manage the full lifecycle of a project, from financing and design to construction, operation, and maintenance. BESIX Group is committed to sustainability and innovation, actively participating in waste-to-energy projects, water reuse facilities, and developing smart building solutions. The company also emphasizes fair labor standards and has a global framework agreement with Building and Wood Workers' International (BWI).
