The Constructions Industrielles de la Mediterranee ( CNIM ) is a French engineering company with headquarters in Paris .
history
The origins of CNIM go back to 1853. At that time, the Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée (FCM) , a French company that manufactured very modern combat and ironclad ships for the time, was renamed Société Nouvelle des Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée in 1856 . From 1917 onwards, FCM also started producing tanks .
Due to the sharp decline in the demand for combat ships and the corresponding poor business situation , FCM was taken over by the Herlicq Group in 1966 and renamed Constructions Navales et Industrielles de la Méditerranée , the name from which the current company name CNIM arose. Since then, CNIM has specialized in the manufacture of special ships such as liquefied natural gas and oil transport ships. At the same time, diversification into various other business areas was continued.
In 1982 CNIM was renamed under the name Constructions Industrielles de la Méditerranée and since then has been driving forward the expansion of the energy and mechanical engineering divisions .
In 1989 BABCOCK Entreprise was taken over , in 1990 that of Babcock Wanson , and in 2001 LAB SA was taken over. Since 2002, the CNIM has also owned Alstom's former business with electricity generation through waste incineration .
