ABOUT US
Hofincons
Infotech and Industrial Services Pvt. Ltd (HIISL) was
founded in 1978 as a maintenance & materials consulting
and training company, then under the name of Howard
Finley Consultants (India) Pvt. Ltd. From modest beginnings,
the company progressed in its capabilities and established
a strong market presence in India and the Middle East.
In 1987, the company perceived the opportunity to add
on contract maintenance services to its portfolio, which
led to several contract jobs in the subsequent years.
During this time, the computerization of asset maintenance
activities was well underway and the company developed
an IT focus and subsequently an IT specialty as well.
This led in 1995 to the formation of Hofincons Industrial
Services Ltd (HISL) and Hofinsoft Services Ltd (HSL).
HISL focused
on consulting and field asset management services while HSL focused on asset management software development and a range of IT services for its clients. In 1996, HISL raised its first round of external funds by inviting ICICI Ventures to take an equity stake in the company. HSL too followed suit in 1997 again with participation from ICICI Ventures. In 1998, the company management and ICICI Ventures determined that in order to derive the maximum synergy and focus on Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) strategy, the two companies, HISL and HSL should be merged. In 1999, HIISL was created to emerge as a single-point source for Industrial Asset Management services in IT-enabled Consulting, Operation & Maintenance and Training.
In October 2006
Hofincons Infotech and Industrial Services Pvt
Ltd was acquired by
Transfield Services.
Transfield Services is a leading international
provider of operational, maintenance, asset
management and project management services to a
number of industries. The backing of Transfield
Services has increased the scope of Hofincons
provision of service to its clients as well as
introducing it to a number of new potential
clients.
