Headquartered in Lausanne, BG offers consulting, engineering, and project management services including the water and environment sectors.
WD News: WSP has announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire BG Bonnard & Gardel Holding SA, one of Switzerland’s leading engineering consulting firms, with a strong presence in France.
“Integrating BG into WSP will secure our leadership position in Switzerland, strengthen our presence in France and enhance our offering to clients of both firms”, said Alexandre L’Heureux, President and Chief Executive Officer of WSP.
WSP is expected to gain a foothold in the French-speaking regions of the country while also enlarging its presence in the German-speaking regions. Also, as a result of the transaction, WSP is expected to almost double its workforce in France, adding offices and clients in Paris, Lyon, and Marseille.
“Our clients will benefit from an even wider range of services and our employees will benefit from the advantages inherent in being part of a global organisation”, said Pierre Epars, Chief Executive Officer of BG.
Joining forces with BG is expected to capitalise on WSP’s strengths and further scale its capabilities in water apart from other sectors.
