Ziad Younes, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BUTEC Group commented: “the acquisition of the “Energy Services” businesses of ENGIE Group in Africa aligns perfectly with the growth strategy of BUTEC Group, by allowing us to expand geographically in the continent, a promising market in which BUTEC is already present, and by combining the know-how and business expertise of the existing teams that will complement the “Energy Services” activities of the Group. We are very confident that the teams of the acquired companies will rapidly integrate the BUTEC family and fit in perfectly with our strong corporate culture, built over a long history of successes shared by the Group, its shareholders, employees and clients.”
