This international dynamic in the company’s activities, which now accounts for more than 30% of our business, can also be found in the composition of our team, who are used to working in multiple languages. The French name GESTE – whose main meanings in English are « gesture, deed » – also stands for « Groupe d’Étude de Systèmes de Transport dans leur Environnement » (study group of transport systems in their environment). It reflects our energy and our commitment to take action and to consider transportation systems – whether for passengers or freight – to be an integral part or component of an environment that has human beings and their well-being at its core. Our experience in large projects in Switzerland and worldwide lets us actively support our clients in the development of infrastructure and equipment, by offering custom-built, original and innovative solutions, and by adopting a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach. To better meet to our clients' needs, we organise our consulting-engineering services into five sectors of activities, managed as business units: RAIL | URBAN | ROAD | BUILDINGS | INNOVATION • System engineering and railway technics • Signalling and automation for guided and driverless vehicles • Safety, RAMS, fire safety and pedestrian flows • Tunnel ventilation, aerodynamics and thermodynamics
