Context

SYSTRA has announced the 100% acquisition of the Australian engineering firm BG&E. This strategic transaction significantly strengthens SYSTRA’s presence in Australia and New Zealand, where the combined entity will now employ over 1,000 staff. The rationale for the deal is twofold: first, to capture growth in one of the world's most active infrastructure markets; second, to create a new global business unit dedicated to "Complex Buildings". By integrating BG&E’s 800 employees and its international offices in Singapore, the UAE, and the UK, SYSTRA is scaling its multidisciplinary engineering services. This network will now include over 700 specialists worldwide, enabling SYSTRA to compete on a global stage for large-scale building projects beyond its traditional transport-related core.
