Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas, S.A. ((:foˈmento ðe konstɾukˈθjones i konˈtɾatas)), or FCC, is a leading Spanish construction company based in Barcelona. It is publicly traded and is part of the IBEX 35. Until November 2014 over 50% of the shares were owned by a company controlled by the daughter of its founder, Esther Koplowitz and others, when George Soros bought around 25 percent of her rights to acquire shares. ==History== The business was founded in Barcelona in 1900 as ''Fomento de Obras y Construcciones S.A.'' and became known as ''FOCSA''. In 1992 FOCSA merged with ''Construcciones y Contratas'', a company founded in Madrid in 1944 to form ''Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas, S.A.''. In September 2006 FCC acquired the British Waste Recycling Group, excluding its landfill gas operations, from Terra Firma Capital Partners for £1.4 billion. In August 2013, it sold its subsidiary Alpine Energie, a company of 3,000 employees in the German speaking Alps, that builds and maintains power plants, telecommunications, and traffic infrastructure to Triton Partners, a Private equity company, for just under €100 million ($133 million). In November 2014, FCC shared that American business magnate George Soros will become a key shareholder. In March 2015, it was announced that Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim will also be a minority shareholder in the company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
