JCDecaux was founded in 1964 by Jean Jean Claude Decaux who had an innovative vision: to combine outdoor advertising with street furniture.

In June 1999 JCDecaux aquired Grupo Havas Media Communicación, subsequently relaunching it as JCDecaux Outdoor Communication.

A strong commitment to creating the most original and functional communication support materials have made JCDecaux a leading international player. Numerous prominent and internationally acclaimed designers have created furniture for the group including design heavy-weights such as Philippe Stark, Norman Foster, Mario Bellini, Robert Stern, Philip Cox, Martin Szekely, Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Gae Aulenti.

The JCDecaux group is leader in outdoor communication:

• Number 1 worldwide, street furniture

From the Champs Elysées to Notting Hill, Barcelona to San Francisco, Chicago to Sydney or Hong Kong to Santiago, JCDecaux reaches more than 276 million people across the entire globe.

The JCDecaux Group has become the point of reference for supreme quality, originality, functionality, efficiency and as an urban facilities provider.
