background
The company's business areas include the maintenance and servicing of large electrical systems, air conditioning systems or information technology systems, technical facility management and urban planning services. The company was founded in 1900 by Édouard Empain to set up the electrical infrastructure of Métro Paris . This same company was to be renamed Société parisienne pour l'industrie électrique (German: Paris Society for the Electrical Industry, or SPIE for short) in 1946 . In 1968 Spie merged with the construction company "Société de Construction des Batignolles" to become Spie Batignolles . After taking over Schneider Electricby Édouard-Jean Empain , a grandson of Édouard Empain, Spie Batignolles was united with Schneider in the Empain-Schneider Group. With the sale of all company shares of the Empains family to the Paribas-Bank in 1981, a restructuring of the group was initiated, as a result of which the group name was changed to Schneider. However, Spie Batignolles remained the daughter of Schneider. In 1997 Spie was spun off from the Schneider Group and from then on acted independently. The takeover by the British plant manufacturer Amec in 2003 made Spie Amec's continental European agency under the name Amec Spie . In the same year the business with conventional construction activities, Spie Batignolles , was bought out of the group by executives. In 2006 Spie was sold to the investment company PAI partners .
In 2015, SPIE was floated on the Paris stock exchange. The main shareholders of Spie are the Canadian infrastructure investor CDPQ with a stake of 12.1% and the investment company FFP with 5.5% (as of December 31, 2018).
