ENR 2018: SYSTRA confirms its signature positioning

The Group is now ranked among the Top 10 in the Bridges category, at 8th position. This result, which integrates the acquisition of International Bridge Technologies in 2017, positions SYSTRA as the reference in the engineering of bridges and large infrastructures.

We are at 9th position in the Top 10 International Design Firms in Transportation* category. This reflects the specificity of our Group, which is to cover the entire transportation spectrum, from railways to airports through to bridges, roads and tunnels.

Finally, we have maintained our presence in the Top 5 of the Mass Transit & Rail category, comprising engineering companies which are now ahead of the pack.

Pierre Verzat, SYSTRA’s CEO, commented: “ENR’s Global Sourcebook ranking is a clear recognition of the expertise of the Group’s employees which is demonstrated in major transport infrastructure projects throughout the world. It confirms the robustness of our international strategy.”

SYSTRA has also progressed in the general rankings, which mix all categories. We rose from 42nd to 36th position in the Top 225 International Design Firms*, based on international design revenue. We also rose in the Top 150 Global Design Firms* category. SYSTRA is now the 50th engineering company in the world by size.

The ENR rankings are widely viewed as the benchmark for the global engineering industry and are based on companies’ annual revenue in both domestic and international markets.

SYSTRA climbs the latest ENR rankings

We confirmed our position in the Top 10 International Design Firms in Transportation category, moving up one place to number 9 after entering the Top 10 for the first time last year. This category comprises airports, bridges, roads, canals, locks, dredging, marine facilities, piers, railroads and tunnels (among others).

In the Top 225 International Design Firms, a generalist category that ranks companies based on design revenue from projects outside their home countries, we climbed six places, rising to 36 from 42.

We also entered the top 50 for the first time in the Top 150 Global Design Firms category, which measures total worldwide design revenue, rising one place from our 2017 position.

Commenting on these achievements, Pierre Verzat, SYSTRA’s CEO, said: “These latest ENR rankings confirm our successful global expansion strategy and are testimony to the technical excellence delivered by SYSTRA employees all around the world. I am proud that as transportation experts we have risen to our highest ranking to date in our specialist category, while also achieving Top 50 positions in broad categories measuring the global engineering industry in its entirety.”

These latest rankings are in addition to our number 3 position in Mass Transit and Rail and our number 12 position in Bridges (a category compiled prior to our acquisition of IBT), published in December 2017.

The ENR rankings are widely viewed as the benchmark for the global engineering industry and are based on companies’ annual revenue in both domestic and international markets.
