Groupe ADP, through its subsidiary ADP Ingénierie, recently won a series of contracts with major international airports for design, study, or technical assistance projects.
According to Gratien Maire, CEO of ADP Ingénierie, this series of contract testifies a two-fold observation: "the recognition of our company's 360° expertise all along the airport value chain as the air traffic is increasing and the reinforcement of our geographic proximity with the clients due to our recent reorganization and almost the passionate commitment of all employees brings already promising fruit."
