Our history

Cox has become one of the global leaders across the water and energy sectors, the two major areas where it focuses its activity.

Our brand

Our central symbol, inspired by a drop of water, evokes life and fluidity, key elements for the company. It also resembles an electron orbiting, taking us to the realm of energy, one of our core business activities.
