The Hifab representatives Nathalie Tranefeldt and Mazed Islam (standing) is signing the 400 pages contract together with Anisur Rahman, MD of local partner DevConsultants Ltd.
Kent Strand is Managing Director of Hifab Oy and responsible Project Manager:
– The sales process in these types of projects is normally quite long. I am very pleased that we now have signed the contract after 1,5 years of proposal work and can start the project shortly. This is the third bigger development project in the power sector for Hifab in Bangladesh during a short period of time and shows that our clients still appreciate quality work as we normally are more expensive than local and regional competitors. It also shows that the different international companies in the Hifab Group are working well and successfully together.
Kent takes the opportunity to thank all the colleagues in Hifab’s Dhaka Office for good support with all practical details.
