Vinci SA’s move to buy a core business of Spain’s Actividades de Construccion y Servicios SA for about 4.9 billion euros ($5.8 billion) will turn the French infrastructure giant into a global player in renewable energies.
The deal that was more than six months in the making expands Vinci’s reach into Spain and Latin America, according to a statement Thursday. The Madrid-based ACS unit will add about 45,000 employees and 6 billion euros in annual sales.
