History


Ausenco was founded in Brisbane, Australia, in 1991, by Albanian Australian Zimi Meka, current CEO and Managing Director, and Bob Thorpe, current Board member. In 1995, the second office opened in Perth, Australia.
In 2002, the first institutional shareholders invested in Ausenco and former Queensland Premier Wayne Goss was appointed chairman of the company. Ausenco established the Ascentis division in 2003 to deliver operations solutions to the minerals processing industry. In 2004, Ausenco opened an office in China, and then in 2005, opened offices in North America and South America.
The company listed on the Australian stock exchange on 15 June 2006.
In 2007, the Vancouver office opened, increasing the number of employees by 31% to 1,010 people globally. The Ausenco foundation was also launched in 2007 to offer support to the communities in which people from Ausenco live and work.
Ausenco began an expansion program in 2008 by acquiring several companies to enhance their service offering, including Vector Engineering, Pipeline Systems Incorporated (PSI) and Sandwell. This increased employee numbers by 150%, and expanded service offerings to include pipeline systems, ports & marine, environment & sustainability, and transportation systems. The Ausenco Taggart joint venture was also formed in 2008 to offer design and delivery expertise for coal handling processing plants.
In 2009, Ausenco acquired 50% equity in the Kramer Group to form Kramer Ausenco, expanding the company’s presence and services into PNG and the South Pacific.
Ausenco further diversified their offering in 2012 by acquiring 100% of Reaction Consulting, a Canada-based specialist provider of engineering services in the SAGD bitumen and oil sands sectors, to expand its capability and services in process engineering for the oil and gas market. The Ausenco Rylson joint venture was also formed to expand offerings in asset optimization and management services.
George Lloyd was appointed Chairman in 2013, which was the same year Ausenco acquired PROJEX Technologies Ltd in Calgary, Alberta and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to expand capabilities in the oil sands market.
In mid-2015, Ausenco formed a Strategic Alliance with Spanish multinational construction company Duro Felguera S.A. to jointly pursue and deliver EPC projects globally.
In September 2016, Ausenco was privatized via a Scheme of Arrangement with RCF V.I. LP and key shareholders. Ausenco was subsequently de-listed from the Australian Securities Exchange.
In 2017, Ausenco created a consulting business line comprising global practice areas including Mining Consulting, Environment & Sustainability, Pipelines, Transportation & Logistics, Integrated Technology Solutions, Asset Management & Optimization, and Oil & Gas Consulting. In November 2017, Ausenco acquired Hemmera, a leading environmental consultancy in Canada. Hemmera is now part of the Environment & Sustainability practice.
