Presentation
FCC, a company specialised in public services, was created in March 1992 through the merger of two prestigious companies: Construcciones y Contratas, founded in Madrid in 1944, and Fomento de Obras y Construcciones, founded in Barcelona in 1900 and listed on the stock exchange since December of that year. FCC currently is a member of the Ibex 35 index of the most liquid stocks on the Spanish stock market.
FCC is the parent company of one of Europe's leading citizen services groups in terms of both revenues and profitability. It has traditionally focused on growth through diversification: originally founded as a construction company, in 1911 it branched into municipal services with a contract to clean and maintain Barcelona's sewer network.
Its business portfolio is now highly diversified. FCC's core businesses are environmental services and water management, construction of large infrastructure, cement production, and renewable energy production.
It has a footprint in 54 countries worldwide and over 44% of its revenues come from outside Spain (mainly Europe and the US).
Revenues in 2009 amounted to 12.700 billion euro and the group had 92,324 employees.
