Eurovia
is a world leader in roadworks and materials recycling
and the leading French producer of road aggregates.
The company generates more than 90% of its revenue in Europe, primarily
in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Eurovia also holds signifi cant positions in the United States (Florida, North
and South Carolina), Canada and Chile. Combining strong roots in a large
number of local markets with an ambitious innovation policy and networking

Roadworks

activity, carried out for both public and private sector customers, accounts for
nearly half of Eurovia’s revenue and is spread over some 60,000 projects a year.

tonnes of aggregates per year (1) ), 60 binder plants (500,000 tonnes (1) ),
460 coating plants (24 million tonnes of asphalt mix (1) ) and 110 materials
recycling and treatment facilities (5 million tonnes (1) ). With a business cycle
that complements roadworks activities, this segment contributes to Eurovia’s
growth and results and represents a guaranteed long-tem source of high
quality materials for its projects (1.5 billion tonnes of materials held in reserve,
enough for some 30 years of production).

development projects (segregated lane transport roadbeds, enhancement of
