The group is expanding internationally and 60% of its turnover in 2015 was generated outside France. This figure compares with 53% in 2015 and 49% in 2014. This geographical shift in our business is in line with its strategy to target growth areas. The firm has consolidated its presence in India, the Middle East and Brazil, positioning these three regions as strategic platforms for future development of the company.

In 2015, Egis recorded a substantial increase in its international business, and in particular in the Middle East (which now accounts for 13% of Group turnover) where it acquired Projacs, one of the region’s leading project management consultancies.
