The word BARA means to create 

For us this is our personal story and lifelong dream to create an environment for all our clients and stakeholders in which they can strive for excellence and life out ethical business values. This environment should ultimately empower people within the industrial and business sectors with practical skill that enables them to exceed the goals they set out for themselves.

BARA is unique in the sense that we possess in-depth technical and business skills in the heavy industry with a total of 12 years combined experience. These skills range from boiler and combustion processes , rotating equipment, cooling and water treatment systems, bulk material and pumping systems and thermo-fluid heat systems. Our experience in these areas and in the heavy industry makes us unique.  We are able to provide in-depth knowledge about plant components and processes but also look at the cost and long-term sustainability of your plant.
