ENERGY / BUSINESS REPORT Despite a diffi cult economic environment, VINCI Energies business units operating in the industrial sector expanded their activity and increased their market share in 2005. 58 VINCI 2005 ANNUAL REPORT Industry In 2005, VINCI Energies stepped up the implementation of its strategy aimed at structuring its service offering for industry in two major Europe-wide brands: Actemium in electrical engineering and installation and Opteor in maintenance. Combining strong local roots, which generate a large number of small recurring contracts, with a global systems integration approach, the strategy meets the dual market demand: industrial groups expect high-quality local service to maintain and optimise their existing sites and also seek multi-site solutions, particularly to support the creation of new production centres on their growing markets. Applying the strategy - and building on their in-depth familiarity with industrial processes and the requirements of their customers in the areas of productivity, quality, traceability, environmental protection and accident prevention and safety - VINCI Energies business units also increased their market share in the industrial sector in 2005, against an economic backdrop which, while diffi cult, offered many opportunities. Activity was particularly brisk in the automotive sector. Group business units completed a large number of projects for French automakers, both at their historic sites and their international locations, such as the PSA plant in Trnava, Slovakia (see below). The petrochemical and natural gas industries also generated a substantial volume of business. In the environment sector, tightened regulatory constraints - especially those relating to fumes emitted by waste treatment plants - helped boost business activity. Moreover, the development of cross-border cooperation across VINCI Energies’ European networks was further boosted at the end of the year by major orders placed by food processing groups Masterfoods and Veltins as well as by Michelin for its Polish location. In this context, business units operating under the Actemium brand generated revenue of €400 million in 2005, up 10% from the previous year. The increase was 30%, to €65 million, for the Opteor network business units. ACTEMIUM: A PSA PEUGEOT-CITROEN PARTNER IN EUROPE The deployment of the Actemium brand (electrical engineering and PLCs) in Europe supports industries in their new location projects as well as in the modernisation of their existing sites. As a longstanding partner of Peugeot-Citroen in France, Actemium worked for two years on the automotive group’s new site in Slovakia, which will be producing 55 vehicles an hour. The systems integration contract covered implementation of the parts conveyor system among the different shops as well as the design and installation of a fl oor production line comprising 40 robots. In other work for PSA Peugeot-Citroen, Actemium developed a new conveyor table without telescopic arms and equipped with a “friction wheel”. The device won the Special Ingenuity Prize at the VINCI 2005 Innovation Awards and has been successfully installed at the PSA Peugeot-Citroen sites in Poissy, France and Trnava, Slovakia (opposite).
