GESTE Engineering Ltd. is a private company with offices in Lausanne, Bern, Bellinzona, Paris, Lyon and Brussels. Founded in 1999 as a start-up at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL), its headquarters is in Lausanne, in the heart of the EPFL Innovation Quarter. Within this dynamic framework, GESTE Engineering gathers the know-how and expertise of experienced engineers and technicians who have contributed and continue to contribute to the success of major projects in Switzerland, France, Belgium and throughout the world. 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
