    100 YEARS OF HISTORY  IN CHÂTEAUNEUF SUR LOIRE

    Basile Baudin

    It all began on the benches of the Châteauneuf-sur-Loire school in the French Loiret region, where Basile Baudin and Georges Camille Imbault met. The 2 men began their careers at the same time in the factory manufacturing and assembling prefabricated metal components, founded by Ferdinand Arnodin, the great specialist in cable-stayed bridges who invented transporter bridges.

    1919 The shared passion of metal, large architectural constructions and technological challenges led the ingenious entrepreneur Baudin and the entrepreneurial engineer Imbault to found the company ‘B. Baudin et Compagnie’, a metal construction company, on 19 March. After the production of electricity pylons and farm sheds, the company moved quickly to constructing of metal bridges and took an active role in rebuilding French bridges after the damage caused during the Second World War.

    1954 BAUDIN CHATEAUNEUF extended its metalwork expertise to activities producing structural steel building frames, marking the beginning of the active diversification policy that it still pursues today..

    1962 A Civil Engineering department and a Drawing Office were created to construct reinforced and pre-stressed concrete bridges, as well as a Mechanical Engineering department that acquired numerous patents for innovation. At the same time, at the end of the 1960s, the company strengthened its mechanical potential.

    1970 The General Contractor department was created to offer ‘turnkey’ services… the swimming pool business would follow.

    1990 BAUDIN broadened its skills by developing other trades within the group: building cladding, transporting exceptional loads, stage machinery, civil engineering and building renovation..

    Since the 2000s  BAUDIN CHATEAUNEUF developed its activities and became a group by acquiring new subsidiaries and creating offices throughout France. Over the decades, the group has become a recognised worldwide player in construction and civil engineering for its excellent services at the highest technological level..

    2019  BAUDIN CHATEAUNEUF is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary !
