BESIX Group completes the sale of its UK operations

Franki Foundations, subsidiary of BESIX Group, announces the completion of the sale of its UK operations, including Franki Foundations UK and its subsidiaries Martello Piling and Able Piling, to the British construction group Statom.

History and experience

Franki Foundations UK has nearly 20 years of experience in delivering complete piling solutions. The company entered the UK market in 2006 following the acquisition of Able Piling and has since built a strong reputation for expertise and reliability in foundation engineering projects across the region.

Strategic focus

This strategic move enables Franki Foundations to concentrate its activities in the BENEFRA region (Belgium, Netherlands, France) and on selected international projects, while providing Franki Foundations UK with the opportunity to grow further within a recognised and well-established local group.

We sincerely thank all the teams at Franki Foundations UK, Martello Piling and Able Piling for their dedication and many years of collaboration. Joining Statom marks an exciting new chapter for the UK operations, enabling them to continue delivering high-quality solutions with the support of a strong local partner.
