history

Cegelec emerged from the AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft) . In 1996 AEG spun off its plant and automation technology division; this went into the corporate structure of the Alcatel-Alsthom group, later Alstom . From the management buy-out on July 20, 2001, when Alstom outsourced its service division, Cegelec emerged as an independent group of companies with its German subsidiary Cegelec Anlagen- und Automatisierungstechnik. The private equity investors CDC Equity Capital and Charterhouse Development Capital each held 45 percent of the shares, ten percent were owned by Cegelec employees.

In October 2008, Qatari Diar , a sovereign wealth fund of the Emirate of Qatar , acquired a large part of the shares in the Cegelec Group. Following the agreement of a strategic partnership between Qatari Diar and the French construction company Vinci on January 19, 2010 and receiving approval from the cartel authorities, the Vinci Board of Directors, which met on April 14, 2010, completed the planned contribution of Cegelec in exchange for newly issued shares and treasury shares of the group . This makes Cegelec a wholly owned subsidiary of the Vinci group.
