Celebrating 100 Years
In 2011, SNC-Lavalin achieves a major milestone in its history as it celebrates its Centennial year with the many people who continue to contribute to its continued success. On 11 April 2011 the company celebrated its birthday which was a monumental moment in its history. Employees in SNC-Lavalin’s offices around the world will be marking the centennial throughout the year with various activities.
Founded in Montreal in 1911, the Company started out as a one-man engineering consulting office with one client. Today it has grown to be one of the world’s largest engineering/construction firms with 24,000 employees in offices across Canada and in over 35 other countries around the world. At any given time its employees are working on thousands of projects in some 100 countries. In 2010, it earned revenues of $6.3 billion and a net income of $437 million.
SNC-Lavalin has grown and evolved to a remarkable extent over the last hundred years. It has world renowned expertise in numerous sectors of activity and extensive experience in hundreds of countries. It is also one of very few companies in the world that can cover the entire life cycle of a project. It has the know-how and resources to design, build, operate, maintain, and even arrange project financing, for facilities and infrastructure anywhere in the world.
To mark its 100th anniversary, SNC-Lavalin is launching a 100 Acts of WE CARE initiative. Between April and November 2011, the Company will recognize 100 examples of employees giving their time to a cause in their community related to one or more of its WE CARE values: health & safety, employees, communities, the environment and quality.
Employees, clients and partners around the world are joining us to recognize our many achievements in this space, as we enter our second century of operations
