Higien

What Higien does

Higien is a privately held Brazilian professional services company headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, that specializes in cleaning, sanitization, and disinfection for healthcare facilities, condominiums, and corporate environments. The company was founded to address the need for properly trained cleaning professionals in clinical and hospital settings and operates in compliance with the Organização Nacional de Acreditação (ONA) healthcare accreditation standards and NR-32 occupational safety regulations. With a workforce of 17 employees, Higien serves three primary segments: healthcare facilities (hospitals and clinics, the primary vertical), residential and commercial condominiums, and corporate enterprises across the state of Goiás.

The company's service portfolio spans core cleaning and disinfection offerings plus specialized healthcare services including floor treatment, hospital bed management, healthcare waste management under PGRSS (Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde) regulations, and consulting on standard operating procedure manuals (POPS) and work plans. Auxiliary services such as reception (portaria), unarmed security, kitchen/copa management, and gardening allow Higien to position itself as a single-source facility services provider for clients seeking outsourcing. Service delivery is supported by a qualified in-house support team with expertise in operations, nursing, law, occupational safety, and psychology. The underlying technology stack is described as standard professional cleaning and disinfection equipment and products with specialized techniques for healthcare environments; there is no proprietary technology disclosed.

Higien generates revenue through customized monthly service contracts with pricing tailored to each client's scope of work — pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set per engagement. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct field sales for enterprise clients (hospitals, condominiums, corporate accounts) with phone-based inbound inquiries, website quote requests, and a multi-channel marketing mix including Google, Facebook, Instagram, outdoor advertising, printed materials, events, and client referrals. The company operates as an independent, privately funded entity with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional backing, and there is no evidence of M&A activity, leadership turnover, or funding events in the available data.
