On January 29, 2026, Colas completed the acquisitioni of the Hubert Rougeot Meursault Group, a family-run public works company that has been operating in the Burgundy region for over 60 years.

A contracting company specialising in public works (road works, roads and networks, pipes and ducts, earthworks, civil engineering), Hubert Rougeot Meursault has 330 employees and achieved sales of around €70 million in 2025.

The group is a major economic player in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, where it has been based since its creation and where it has six construction business units, two asphalt mixing plants (one of which is a joint venture), a quarry and a recycling facility.

Since its creation, it has worked on the construction and maintenance of several road infrastructure projects in the region. Thanks to an integrated design office and in order to respond to more integrated projects, the teams have gradually expanded their expertise to include earthworks, landfill sites, demolition and networks.

"This acquisition meets a major objective of the Colas Group: to offer our customers a personalised response tailored to all their needs in terms of road infrastructure construction, development and maintenance. This is a new dynamic for our teams based in the region, which are structured around similar activities and now united by the same core values: technical expertise, the pursuit of excellence and high standards", explains Thierry Méline, Chairman of Colas France.

"Hubert Rougeot Meursault's regional roots, the expertise of its employees and the family ethos that drives them resonate with the Colas Group's culture. We are delighted to be joining a major group that is a leader in the field of public works in France and internationally. It is an opportunity for our employees to showcase their expertise beyond our core Burgundy region", adds Christophe Rougeot, Chairman of Hubert Rougeot Meursault.

Based in France for nearly 100 years, the Colas Group has nearly 25,000 employees. With this acquisition, Colas will account for some 1,100 jobs in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
