What HIFAB does

HIFAB Aluminium Pvt. Ltd. is an Ahmedabad-headquartered specialist façade contractor founded in 1991 (incorporated 2007) that designs, manufactures, and installs custom architectural façade systems for India's commercial real estate, institutional, and public-infrastructure sectors. Its product portfolio spans unitized, semi-unitized, spider glazing, curtain wall, three-dimensional, inclined/arc, and composite cladding (dry stone and aluminium) façade systems, plus UPVC windows, supported by in-house automated powder coating (30,000 sqft, 2021) and CNC sheet bending/machining (15,000 sqft, 2021) facilities totalling 65,000+ sqft, with a 500,000 sqft new plant under initiation at Sachana in 2024.

The company generates revenue primarily through project-based B2B contracts with marquee developers and construction firms — including Adani Realty, Reliance, Brigade Group, Phoenix Mills, Larsen & Toubro, and PSP Projects — executing complex projects such as the Narendra Modi Stadium façade, Surat Diamond Bourse, BIFC GIFT City, IFSCA Headquarters, and Palladium Mall. A parallel B2C motion operates under the retail sub-brand 'The Window Factory' (TWF), selling high-end aluminium doors and windows through experience centers in Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Indore, Hyderabad, and Udaipur. Distribution is direct and project-driven (no resellers or third-party channels for the B2B book), and the firm has completed over 500 projects across 30 years, claiming the No. 1 position in Western India's facade segment.

HIFAB remains privately held by the Vora family — Managing Director/CEO Ashit Sevantilal Vora (founder, 30+ years), Director Nimit Vora (manufacturing), and Director Kashvi Ashit Vora (TWF creative head) — with no external private equity or venture capital involvement disclosed. Marketing is portfolio-driven via the company website, LinkedIn, Instagram, industry awards (Construction Week Awards India 2023 — Facade Project of the Year), and the physical TWF showroom network.
