CFE - 2006 annual report - Vinci

The workshop, which designs and builds electrical panels
(low voltage panels, distribution panels, etc.), also signi-
ficantly developed its high voltage station business with
outside customers.
The order book as of 31 December already guarantees
sustained activity throughout the 2007 financial year.
Voltis
Voltis, which runs an operation based on the concept of “6
stores in one” (lighting, electrical installation equipment
and tools, home improvement, heating/air conditioning and
home electrical appliances) focusing on retail customers,
experienced strong revenue growth.
Yves Persenaire, 45 years
Sales Manager
Voltis is increasingly attracting a “retail” clientele thanks
to the quality of its products, the advice of its technicians
and its new concept, unique in Belgium, of “6 stores in 1”:
electricity, lighting, manual and portable-electrical tools,
home improvements, heating and air conditioning and
home appliances.
The basic business consisting of electricity and lighting
accounts for more than 70% of revenue.
In view of the positive performance of Voltis “Louvain-la-
Neuve” over the past several years, a second retail outlet
will open its doors at the beginning of September 2007 in
Waterloo, Chaussée de Bruxelles 463 (main road).
CFE Brabant will build the building. Voltis “Waterloo” will
have 1,000 m 2 of retail space and several parking spots
reserved for customers.
