Colas S.A.
 PROFILE
Colas paves the way for drivers worldwide. The French road construction and infrastructure maintenance group was founded on and named after the creation of a revolutionary technical process: cold asphalt. Although road building activities bring in about 70% of its revenues, Colas still develops new products. Two are Colsoft, an asphalt concrete (partly made from recycled tires) that cuts traffic noise, and Coldraine, which prevents vehicles from hydroplaning on wet roads. The firm produces more than 85 million metric tons of aggregates and about 50 million tons of asphalt concrete a year. Colas companies also treat and confine polluted soils and industrial waste. French conglomerate Bouygues owns 96% of Colas.
