Bouygues is a diversified industrial group headquartered in Paris, France, with operations spanning construction, real estate development, infrastructure and telecommunications. Founded in 1952 by civil engineer Francis Bouygues, the company has grown from a local builder into a global player, balancing traditional engineering services with modern digital and communication offerings. Over seven decades, Bouygues has established a reputation for large-scale civil works, urban planning and sustainable building practices.
Within its construction division, Bouygues operates through Bouygues Construction, which delivers building, civil engineering and energy-related services worldwide. The group’s property development arm, Bouygues Immobilier, focuses on residential, office and retail real estate projects, integrating eco-design principles and smart-city concepts. Additionally, through its majority stake in Colas, Bouygues is active in road building, infrastructure maintenance and specialized construction materials, serving both public-sector and private-sector clients.
In telecommunications and media, Bouygues holds full ownership of Bouygues Telecom, a provider of mobile and fixed‐line broadband services in France. The operator has been at the forefront of network rollout and digital services, including fiber-to-the-home and 4G/5G technologies. The group also maintains a controlling interest in TF1 Group, one of France’s leading television broadcasters. TF1 offers free-to-air channels, streaming platforms and content production, complementing Bouygues’s footprint in entertainment and digital advertising.
Today, Bouygues is led by Martin Bouygues, who succeeded his father as chairman and chief executive officer in the mid-1990s. Under his stewardship, the group has intensified its focus on sustainable development, digital transformation and geographic diversification, with projects across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. By leveraging its integrated model—combining engineering, real estate, infrastructure and communication—Bouygues continues to pursue growth opportunities while maintaining operational resilience and innovation.
