Implenia (SIX: IMPN) is the largest construction company in Switzerland. Notably it successfully fought off a takeover by the UK hedge fund, Laxey Partners in 2008.
The company was created in March 2006 through a merger between Zschokke (founded 1872) and Batigroup (founded 1997). It acquired the building business of Bilfinger Construction in December 2014.
The company has three divisions:
Major projects involving the company include the Roxburgh Dam completed in 1953, the Dinorwig Power Station completed in 1984, the Sunniberg Bridge completed in 1998 the Stade de Genève completed in 2003 and the Swissmill Tower that was rebuilt by April 2016.
