Hifab is the leading project management company in Sweden.

The model proved to be successful, and the company flourished. Hifab operated exclusively on the Swedish market until Hifab International AB was founded in 1973.

During the 1990s, we expanded into new sectors such as energy, environmental engineering, IT, telecoms, and in 2002 entered the highly specialized Power Transmission and Distribution market through our Finnish subsidiary Hifab Oy, which can trace its roots to 1932.

Hifab in Bangladesh
Hifab International is celebrating its 30 years presence in Bangladesh. Hifab`s involvement in Bangladesh began in 1987 with the Rural Employment Sector Programme (RESP) project. Hifab became one of the first consulting companies working with Sida (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) on projects not only aiming at delivering physical output, but rather considering the whole spectra of participants in a development process and the social impact of the development efforts. Since then Hifab International has had a continuous presence in the country and has thus gained an experience and understanding of Bangladesh and its society second to none. Many of its permanent staff-members have worked and lived in Bangladesh for extended periods of time.

Our reference list in Bangladesh includes more than 30 projects. Through the years, from 1987 to date, Hifab has maintained its presence and good relations in Bangladesh by providing support to various development cooperation projects. It is the only Swedish consultancy company to have a permanent presence in the country.
