AbuHijleh & Partners

What AbuHijleh & Partners does

AbuHijleh & Partners Co. is a family-owned industrial engineering services company founded in 1982 in Jordan and operating across the MENA region. The company delivers turnkey solutions spanning electrical design and automation, mechanical and plant engineering, steel structure design, on-site services, and remote support for industrial clients in minerals, extrusion, food, pharmaceutical, chemicals, and recycling sectors. Its core technology portfolio is built on certified integrations with major OEMs, including Siemens (PCS7, SIMATIC, TIA Portal), Rockwell (RSlogix, FactoryTalk), Hosokawa Alpine (blown film extrusion lines with X-Die, MDO, VarDAR, EXVIS technologies), DALOG (prescriptive analytics monitoring 2000+ machines in 80+ countries), Rico (explosion protection), and Nvent. The wholly-owned subsidiary AHE for Control & Automation (Free Zones), established in 2023 at Queen Alia Airport Free Zone in Amman, manufactures complete electrical solutions for the MENA market.

The business generates revenue across three primary streams: professional engineering and project management services billed on a project basis; equipment supply and distribution through authorized regional partnerships (notably Hosokawa Alpine blown film lines); and remote or on-site technical support, commissioning, troubleshooting, and process optimization services delivered globally. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales for large industrial projects with channel-partner relationships that provide authorized regional representation. The company has completed 997 commissioning projects over 42 years of operation, currently employs 32 staff (38 engineers referenced in marketing), and maintains offices in Jordan (Amman HQ), the UAE (Dubai holding entity since 2019), and Egypt (New Cairo branch inaugurated 2021). Ownership remains with the Abu Hijleh family; no external institutional investors or parent company are identified.

Broad incumbents

• Jacobs Solutions: Global professional services firm providing engineering, technical, scientific, and consulting solutions across industrial, water, transportation, and advanced manufacturing — competing for the same multi-discipline industrial engineering scopes as AHE.
• Worley: Global engineering and project delivery firm with a strong MENA presence in energy, chemicals, and minerals. Comparable to AHE in industrial engineering services, automation, and commissioning — but operating at vastly greater scale and scope.
• Fluor Corporation: One of the world's largest global EPC firms serving chemicals, mining, power, and industrial clients. Competes with AHE for large industrial engineering, procurement, and construction scopes and operates dedicated MENA execution centers.
• Wood Group: Global consulting and engineering company focused on energy and industrial markets, with significant MENA project delivery and process automation capabilities — competing for the same industrial engineering and asset-services contracts as AHE.
• ABB: Global industrial automation, electrification, and motion OEM with extensive regional partner/service networks in MENA. Competes with AHE on industrial automation projects, control systems integration, and electrical infrastructure scope.

Direct peers

• Dar Al-Handasah (Shair & Partners): Largest MENA-headquartered multi-discipline engineering and architectural consultancy (now part of Sidara). Like AHE, it delivers integrated engineering services across infrastructure, industry, and buildings, and competes for the same large industrial clients in the region.
• Bilfinger: European-headquartered industrial services provider delivering engineering, automation, maintenance, and consulting to process industries. Closely aligned with AHE's mechanical/electrical services, on-site execution model, and process-industry client base.

Regional players

• Técnicas Reunidas: Spanish EPC contractor with a deep footprint across MENA oil & gas, chemicals, and minerals. Directly comparable to AHE's turnkey industrial engineering model but with materially larger scale and dedicated mega-project execution capability.
• Drake & Scull International: UAE-based MEP, civil, and infrastructure contractor historically delivering industrial and commercial projects across MENA. Competes with AHE on integrated mechanical, electrical, and plant engineering scopes in the region.
• Rawabi Holding: Large Saudi-headquartered industrial conglomerate with energy, industrial services, and manufacturing operations across MENA. Comparable in regional industrial-service scope, multi-vertical reach, and family-influenced ownership profile.
