Technip has signed an agreement to sell to WSP(1) its TPS subsidiary, which specializes in engineering and construction for the industry.
Based in Paris with offices located in Lyon, Toulouse and Abu Dhabi, TPS brings together all the necessary skills to devise and realize outstanding private and public projects: structures, thermal engineering, electrical engineering, sub-trade, exterior fittings… TPS holds an impressive achievement track-record most notably working on Bibliothèque de France, Renault’s Technocentre and Airbus’ A380 assembly plant.
This sale is in line with Technip’s strategy to focus on energy, its core business. It will also enable TPS to better tackle its operational challenges and to carry on its growth as part of WSP, one of the world’s leading professional services firms with a strong expertise in the building sector.
