RUEIL-MALMAISON, France—French infrastructure construction firm Eurovia, a subsidiary of the Vinci Group, has finalized its push into Canada.

The company has announced it will acquire Varennes, Que.-based rail contractor Rail Cantech for an undisclosed sum.

The European firm says the buy will boost its Canadian rail footprint, which aligns with its expansion strategy in North America.
