deze rebranding is het gevolg van onze groeistrategie binnen vinci energies belgium . cegelec refrigeration is ontstaan in 2006 door de overname van de engineeringstak van ensysta van de groep aveve .
pierre azaria founds cge ( compagnie générale d’electricité – general electricity company ) , a holding company aimed at running electricity industries and companies . fifteen years later , cge becomes cgee , the direct ancestor of cegelec .
the merger with cegelec expands the leadership of vinci energies . this major event is significant as it permits the group to build up its international presence . at the same time , vinci confers vinci energies with the entire range of facility management activities and maintenance services of the group . the combination of these previously dispersed business lines generates a new impetus . with the arrival of faceo , which was formerly associated with cegelec , these activities are integrated under the name vinci facilities , a unit with operations in 20 european countries .
since april 2010 , cegelec is part of vinci energies , a subsidiary of the vinci group , the wordwide successful concession and construction company with its headquarters in paris . vinci employs more than 186 , 000 employees worldwide , with an annual turnover of around 39 billion euro .

cgee alsthom experiences a strategic change of direction : the general electric company acquires a stake in the group and transfers control of its industrial monitoring activities to it . cgee alsthom then adopts the new name cegelec . this is also the period when gtie extends its development outside france , starting with the uk and then the netherlands .
the cegelec gmbh belongs to the vinci energies group , the energy division of the french vinci group . vinci energies operates with 65 , 400 employees in 51 countries and generated in 2015 sales of 10 billion euros . with its network of more than 1 , 600 business units , vinci energies is currently the market leader in france as well as a major player in europe and worldwide in the fields of energy and information technology .

our history is above all one of people and energies coming together to construct a top - level group in the energy and information technology sectors . vinci energies is like a river formed over time by the confluence of multiple streams . it has followed its course for more than two centuries and has gradually grown through its history due to the businesses that have joined it . the pioneers prepared the way for the entrepreneurs who today continue the human adventure that is our heritage . and it is the story of this adventure that we want to tell .
jean - andré lepaute founds a company in his own name . as horologist to the court of louis xv , he constructs precision pendulums for royal estates and most of the observatories of europe . he is responsible for numerous inventions with applications primarily in astronomy or optics for the navy . one of these innovations is his invention in 1780 of the first horizontal clock using parallel workings . the lepaute company much later expands into the field of electronics after the second world war . this branch of its activities is acquired by cge in 1960
during the period of urban lighting development , jean and chabrié establish their company and gain the contract to supply candles and firewood for the palais bourbon in paris ( where the national assembly is hosted ) . at the end of the century , the engineer albert bouchon joins the company , which is then renamed “mors jean & bouchon” . this is also where andré citroën worked .
candles give way to gaslights . clémençon creates the first lighting control units for parisian theatres .
the lacarrière company provides maintenance for street lamps and all public lighting throughout paris . the magnificent parisian lighting fascinates all of europe , which leads to paris being known as the city of light . at the end of the century , lacarrière merges with sdel , a company created by charles saunier and maurice duval .
the second half of the 19th century is marked by the arrival of electricity . innovations flourish and many companies are created , including louis mors in france , and g + h and nickel in germany . the arrival of the automobile sees the birth of the société anonyme d’electricité et d’automobile ( electricity and automobile limited company ) , founded by the son of louis mors in 1896 .
at the beginning of the 20th century , electrical installation companies such as garczynski - traploir and fournié - grospaud flourish throughout france . in 1906 , ernest tunzini founds a heating company at versailles . a year later , charles saunier and maurice duval create the firm saunier duval et compagnie ( the future sdel ) at montreuil , specialising in lighting services for civil service departments . in great britain , herbert beesley and charles lee found the firm lee beesley .
the belle epoque period of economic prosperity witnesses a decisive turning point towards modern times . that context of success and expansion is shattered by the first world war .
at the end of hostilities , everything has to be rebuilt . under the aegis of the french government , 7000 rural homes are connected to electricity by 1919 . the same year in sweden , emil lundgren decides to found his company , specialised in electric works . the 1920s also sees the creation of the companies garczynski - traploir at le mans and fournié - grospaud at tarbes .
cgee starts to seek prospects outside france and establishes operations in tunisia and algeria , as well as in belgium .
france discovers air conditioning due to the work of ernest tunzini , and louis santerne opens a modest workshop . both tunzini and santerne grow to join the ranks of france’s great companies . the swiss company kriegel et schaffner has similar success ; their electric works company later becomes the etavis group .
the alsthom company ( now spelled alstom ) is created in alsace . electricity has by this time become the preferred energy source for french industry . this requires the electrical equipment necessary for smooth functioning and alsthom positions itself in the construction of motors , turbines , and soldering equipment .
after the second world war , it is necessary to rebuild throughout europe . companies set out to reconstruct housing . in 1948 the phibor company is founded . it provides supplies for the many housing projects which begin to spring up in the parisian suburbs . during these years of reconstruction neighbouring countries also undergo development : in morocco , cgee founds a holding company of electrical businesses ( la compagnie chérifienne d’entreprises électriques ) .
modernity , new construction , and industrial development are the spearhead of the 1950s in france and as well as the rest of europe . in romania , for example , the infrastructure and service sector are directed by tiab , which starts its activity at this time . distinguished by a new dynamism , the construction of the nuclear industry is undertaken by sdel , tunzini , comsip entreprise , g + h , and nickel .
exchanges increase and companies now systematically seek prospects abroad : cgee thus establishes a presence in south america , in africa , and in portugal .
at the start of the 1970s , the electrical installation market undergoes a profound change . cgee merges with the electrical divisions of alsthom and sge , the future vinci , to create cgee alsthom .
the lepaute company , whose ancestor was the horologist to the court of louis xv and creator of the great public clocks of the period , then also joins cgee alsthom .
the companies mors , jean et bouchon , garczynski - traploir , and fournié - grospaud , join to form a group that becomes gtie in 1984 .
following the first oil price shock , the world is in crisis . due to dynamic results , cgee alsthom creates a subsidiary in brazil and gains sole responsibility to equip edf’s nuclear power generation plants with control systems .
for its part , in 1974 comsip entreprise signs the orenbourg contract in the ussr , to develop the largest natural gas field in the world . afterwards , with the development of computer systems , comsip entreprise sets up the real - time monitoring system for ariane rockets .
in germany , due to an initial facility management contract with the us army for its military bases , the ske company is born .
in the 1980s , cgee alsthom increases its contracts in africa , and then brings comsip entreprise into the group to be able to grow further in the petrochemical and space sectors .
gtie makes its first acquisitions in the uk and the netherlands . sdel expands into germany .
gtie , sdel , and santerne form the new electrical works division of sge . the advancement in the field of maintenance , the promising growth of offers related to telecommunication networks , and the development of information processing constitute opportunities for the development of gtie .
the axians and graniou brands , dedicated to telecommunications , are founded . they are followed by actemium , citeos , omexom , and opteor . gtie , while continuing to fully serve its local clients , also chooses a global approach for some of its businesses .
when sge and gtm merge in 2000 to give birth to vinci , gtie absorbs the thermo - mechanical business units from the group ( lefort - francheteau , saga , tunzini , nickel , g + h , and tpi ) .
throughout the first decade the group extends its development to new countries : sweden , spain , eastern europe , portugal , switzerland , and italy . the axians and actemium networks expand into the netherlands , germany , belgium , and slovakia .
gtie takes the name vinci energies to gain recognition as a subsidiary of vinci .
the group begins its expansion to central and eastern europe , with acquisitions in poland , the czech republic , and romania .
in the following two years , other businesses join the group , such as ga gruppe in germany , specialising in energy and telecommunications infrastructures .
vinci energies also turns toward asia , with the acquisition of vaes in india , and the creation of multiple business units associated with actemium in china .
new sources of energy , the boom in mobile telecommunications , and energy conservation are all challenges faced by the group in a world where the needs for different types of energy , for infrastructures of all sorts , and for information technology have never been so great . its business units are at the heart of sustainable development issues . they are creating the “green solutions” of tomorrow that will dominate this third millennium .
year after year , vinci energies pursues its expansion , via both organic growth and a strong acquisition policy . the acquisition in october 2014 of imtech ict , an information and communication technology specialist operating in several european countries , and electrix , a major player in electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure in oceania , is in keeping with the group’s “multi - local” positioning .
over the last few years , vinci energies has developed , diversified and expanded its business . the group’s revenue rose from €3 . 5 billion in 2005 to €10 . 2 billion in 2015 . this spectacular growth was fuelled by two drivers .
internal growth , by proposing new services and innovations to our customers , while also accompanying them into the most dynamic markets such as china and africa .
growth by acquisition , thanks to a series of acquisitions in the last years , including orteng and apx in 2015 .
in 2016 , vinci energies acquires j & p richardson , a leading australian electrical contracting and engineering company , and boosts its positions in the australian energy and transport infrastructure services market .
digital transformation and energy transition are the challenges faced by the group in a changing world .
the aeg separates the area plant and automation technology . it becomes a part of the company alcatel - alsthom , later alstrom .
the aeg , one of the most important electrical companies of the 20th century in the german - speaking world , is established .
with a route network of 4386 km length vinci autoroutes holds half of the motorway concession in france . vinci concessions develops and operates a unique portfolio of concessions in the area of ‚äč‚äčtransport infrastructure and public institutions in around twenty countries .
under the range of construction and construction services fall vinci energies , eurovia , and vinci construction . they form a unique worldwide network of expertise and companies within the integrated business model of vinci .
the history of the vinci group , heir to hundreds of companies gradually assembled in a convoluted process , goes back to the 19th century . in 1899 , two engineers from polytechnique , an elite french engineering school , alexandre giros and louis loucheur , founded société générale d’entreprises ( sge ) , which became vinci in 2000 following its merger with the gtm group .

even without a brush with mortality , some people are very future - minded . seventeen percent of americans say they think about the world 30 years out at least once a week . nearly one - third , or 29 percent , think about the 10 - year future at least once a week . and slightly more ( 35 percent ) think about the five - year future at least once a week . the fact that some people regularly “check in” mentally with the future aligns with something researchers have previously discovered : people have different thresholds for when they view a future self as a stranger . for some people , their mpfc powers down when thinking about a future self a year from now ; for others , the switch doesn’t happen until “future you” is five , 10 , or 15 years out . it’s not clear from the present data whether thinking about the future regularly can change the brain’s behavior or whether people who have a higher threshold just naturally enjoy thinking about the future more , because they already relate better to their future selves .
institute for the future ( iftf ) brings people together to make the future—today . whether you’re a strategic leader in a large organization or a community leader in a struggling neighborhood or a netizen who wants to mobilize global crowds , we have practical tools , research , and programs that turn foresight into the critical new insights that ultimately lead to action .

forecasting can , and often does , contribute to the creation of the future , but it is clear that other factors are also operating . a holographic theory would stress the interconnectedness of all elements in the system . at some level , everything contributes to the creation of the future . the degree to which a forecast can shape the future ( or our perception of the future ) has yet to be determined experimentally and experientially .
