Civil engineering supergroup formed to shake up market

Four major civil engineering firms have joined to form Civitec Group, a European supergroup looking to make a stamp with sustainable infrastructure.

Lichfield-based Wrekin Products alongside Product Industriels Lorrains (P.I.L), Fonderies de Saint Dizier (FSD), Geoworks and Encotel, say through a united force, there’s a significant opportunity to bring sustainable and resilient infrastructure to market.

The group saw a combined turnover of €115m in 2023, and its portfolio includes projects in transportation, water management, environmental engineering and urban development. From supporting the design of smart cities to mitigating climate change impacts – the group’s work is shaping the future of civil engineering.

Simon Turner, commercial director at Wrekin, said: “Helping to found Civitec Group is an exciting next step in Wrekin’s history, and one that will add to our legacy in civil engineering. Our fellow members match our ambition for growth and expansion, which means we can learn from each other and make a greater contribution to the design and manufacture of specialist products loved by contractors and clients. Each member brand brings a unique perspective and specialist skills, enhancing our ability to solve complex problems and deliver comprehensive solutions.

“We’re all stronger together, whether that’s through knowledge sharing or combined spending power, which makes 2024 a particularly interesting and opportune year for us all. Wrekin’s existing customers and partners can expect the same high-level of service and product quality, but with more to look forward to as we make our offering stronger and stronger.”
