About us
We are BGEN International. We bring excellence to engineering, helping to keep businesses, industries and economies moving forward.
We apply the best of engineering and technology to help us solve complex challenges. We do this for clients in a wide range of disciplines and sectors, and have a strong track record of working internationally with blue-chip clients and delivering projects throughout Africa.
Our parent company has its roots in a business founded over 100 years ago in the UK. Today, we’re pushing established boundaries – searching for new, exciting and sustainable ways to solve the engineering challenges of the modern world. We call this approach: next generation engineering.
Because we hire and develop the smartest and most determined people, we can tailor highly advanced engineering solutions. We never stand still: we are curious, with plenty of initiative and a deep-rooted instinct for problem-solving.
We are proud of the way our self-delivery can increase your project efficiency, minimise your risks, and improve your outcomes. That means full project ownership, accountability and cost assurance, and consistently high standards. In other words, we bring certainty in an uncertain world.
From our base in Nigeria we are able deliver projects across the continent – from Ghana and Cameroon to Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.

We deliver certainty
