JC Decaux
JCDecaux is originally a French family company founded in 1964 by Jean‑Claude Decaux, who pioneered the concept of advertising‑funded street furniture. This model provides public amenities like bus shelters, city information panels, public toilets, and bike sharing schemes in exchange for the right to operate advertising space. From its origins in Lyon, the Group has become the world’s number one outdoor advertising company, with over 1 million panels in more than 80 countries.
France remains the Group’s home market and innovation hub. From its Paris headquarters, JCDecaux designs and tests new solutions, such as digital street furniture and sustainable materials, before scaling them internationally. Long-term partnerships with French cities continue to shape the global best practices in urban design and mobility.
In the Netherlands, JCDecaux operates premium street furniture and transport advertising networks in collaboration with municipalities and public transport authorities. By combining design and engineering with standards for sustainability and accessibility, JCDecaux Netherlands delivers highquality, energy-efficient street furniture and digital media. These installations help finance and maintain essential public services, such as bus shelters, public toilets and wayfinding, while offering advertisers effective, accountable and brand-safe communication in some of Europe’s most dynamic, vibrant and innovative cities.
