About us

Company dedicated to the investigation of causes of damage-related events.

General damage investigation (fires, machinery breakdown, engineering, construction, energy systems, materials and products.)

Any projects regarding the investigation of structures and methods, such as the assignment of suitable resources, calculus, analytical monitoring, etc are also included, as is anything related to the methods of scientific verification of the available proof.

AFIS is the result of the constant collaboration and partnership of two companies, ARSON INVESPAÑA, leader in the fire and explosion investigation field as well as in the research of the cause of accidents for insurance companies or private individuals, and ABACO ASESORES PERICIALES, praised specialists in the expert reports and loss adjustment sector in the case of accidents in the industrial and energy engineering field, construction, aviation, navigation, transportation, environment and civil responsibility both for professionals and for products.

Abaco Asesores Periciales was born in 2004 from the partnership of a group of independent professionals from private companies and expert offices with the aim of creating a service based on the technical, highly qualified knowledge of its members in order to present a made-to-measure product for its clients’ specific needs for expert advice.

Since its very beginning, the technical team at ABACO has been highly regarded for its wide experience and knowledge in the field of loss adjustment, damage management and technical services for the Insurance Sector, in addition to the previous experience of the majority of the professionals forming ABACO in their former companies, working in the industrial, energy, building, civil engineering, construction, naval engineering, aviation, transport, agriculture and environmental fields amongst others..

This multidisciplinary team of professionals has allowed ABACO to manage a vast number of accidents with very technical complexity and high costs for the insurance and private sector.

Despite starting its activity in the Spanish national territory, it quickly extended to other countries. In 2013, thanks to this larger international impact, ABACO took on a progressive change not just in their image -with a new logo and website-, but also in the concept behind their services.

These changes culminated with the integration of Abaco in Context International, a network of expert report companies with a broad experience in commercial loss adjustment, especially in the areas of property damage, loss of earnings and civil responsibility. Context International  features a corporate image in over 40 countries and over 300 offices, as well as a wide network of freelance correspondents integrated in their own system of transportation services, coordinated from Spain and Peru so as to allow a double time zone in which attention to any part of the world, at any time of the day is possible.

The active nature of Abaco has taken it to a great number of events, conferences, Forums, seminars and trade fairs, both in Europe and America, thanks to which it has become one of the members of ALSUM (Latin American Association of Maritime Insurers).
