ABM Engineering Limited

What ABM Engineering Limited does

ABM Engineering Limited operates in the private security services sector in Bangladesh under the brand ABM Security Services (also referenced as ABS Security Service). Founded in November 1999 by Brigadier General Sharif Aziz (Retd.) and headquartered at Graphics Building, 9/G, Motijheel B/A in Dhaka, the firm began with seven guards at three client locations and has since expanded into multi-region operations across Bangladesh. The company's core offering is contracted manned guarding, supplied through Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that define scope, schedules, staffing levels, deliverables, and KPIs, with billable adders for overtime, public holidays, mobilization, and extra equipment. Revenue is anchored in recurring monthly contracts supplemented by managed-services monitoring and professional-services training engagements.

The portfolio combines personnel with technology-enabled surveillance: biometric access control, RFID-enabled entry gates, AI-based crowd monitoring, electronic article surveillance, CCTV, smart alarm and perimeter alarm systems, and GPS-enabled patrol verification. The firm layers a four-tier monitoring and supervision framework (zone-wise inspections, field supervision, surprise checks, night patrols) on top of the technology stack and runs a BPSSPA-compliant training academy that delivers certified guards across physical fitness, legal knowledge, emergency response, fire safety, VIP protection, cash transit, and K9 handling. Specialized lines include Special OPS tactical units and Executive Protection Services.

Commercial activity is executed through direct enterprise sales and inbound lead capture via the company website, phone, and email. Customers span commercial buildings, entertainment venues and events, warehouses and distribution centers, retail stores, construction and infrastructure sites, hospitals, educational institutions, real estate and property managers, executive protection, cash transit and financial services, sea vessels and port facilities, and embassies and diplomatic missions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with monthly billing, 7–30 day payment terms, and administrative remedies for late payment.
