History

Santiago Metro, Chile
U-shaped Viaduct - Dubai
World speed record on rails

SYSTRA was formed from the merger of two engineering companies: SOFRERAIL, (French company for railway design and construction) created by SNCF in 1957, and SOFRETU (French company for the design and construction of urban transport), created in 1961 by RATP.

In June 2011, SYSTRA took over INEXIA, SNCF's engineering subsidiary, and XELIS, RATP's engineering subsidiary. This combination of skills from three firms has created France's number 1 public transport engineering company. It plays a leading role in the fields of high speed railways, the renovation of railway networks, automated metros and underground structures in complex urban environments. On July 1, 2012, the merger of SYSTRA, INEXIA and XELIS was confirmed.

SYSTRA has a number of subsidiaries, which constitute the Group: Canarail, MVA, SAI, etc.

SYSTRA also has a lot of branches all over the world: Systra US, Systra UK, Systra Algeria, Systra Morocco, Systra India, etc.
