Abigroup was a construction enterprise based in Australia.
History
The company originated in 1957 under the name Graham Evans & Co, operating as a civil engineering business in New South Wales. In 1961, it underwent a name change to Abignano. The firm became publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange in 1981. From 1984 to 1987, Abignano grew by acquiring Enacon and Robert Salzer Constructions.
Following a management buyout in 1988, the organization adopted the name Abigroup and expanded by purchasing the construction company Hughes Bros. In 2004, ownership transferred to Bilfinger Berger. By December 2010, it was integrated into Lendlease after the sale of Bilfinger Berger Australia. The Abigroup brand was discontinued in 2013 amid Lendlease’s reorganization of its construction division.
