2015 is shaping up to be a stellar year
for one of Ontario’s leading consult-
ing engineering firms. Not only did The
HIDI Group earn a place on Canada’s
Best Managed Companies list for 2014,
but it is celebrating both the company’s
40th anniversary and the launch of two
new and innovative divisions — Alula
Lighting Design and HIDI Risk and Re-
silience.
Founded in 1975 by CEO Andrew Hidi,
The HIDI Group has maintained a set of
core values that focus on strong client
relationships and high levels of service
while embracing the technology and
innovation needed to succeed in an
ever-changing climate. Its team of pro-
fessional engineers, engineering tech-
nicians and designers take on complex
projects worldwide, supported by of-
fices inToronto, Calgary, Dubai and Abu
Dhabi.
“One of the things we’ve always prided
ourselves on was being a family-ori-
ented firm. We started off with those
roots and we’ve really kept the best of
that approach with our company,” said
Sandi Banerjee, COO. “This (Best Man-
aged) process was an affirmation that
keeping true to ourselves and the cor-
porate culture was not only beneficial
as a small local firm, but made us stron-
ger and better through four decades of
growth.”
