Before year 1988s, the public lighting system of Hanoi City still was backward and mainly funded by the Soviet Union and other East European socialist countries and was maintaining & operating by one state company under administration of Hanoi Government called Hanoi Public Lighting Company.
After year 1988s, the Vietnam Economic step by step improving more well by the Open & Reform policy of Vietnam Government, so demand about road lighting equipment not only for Hanoi City but also for other City in Vietnam is also gradually increased. Especially, after no more aid from East European socialist countries, Hanoi City seriously short of outdoor lighting equipment for maintenance its public lighting system, and Hanoi Public Lighting Company by self proactively starting produced some simple components to replace. Also during this stage, beginning these is tendency add of English names for state companies and the word Hapulico was born.
But during this period, the reform policy for market economy of Vietnam Government still not completely opened, for invested new production, the state companies have to cross passed many barriers of complex rules. So although was state assigned to owned a land large to five hectares for warehouse at Thanh-Xuan district Hanoi City, but Hanoi Public Lighting Company still faced many difficult to expand production meanwhile the exterior lighting equipment demands tend rush increase is real. Until to 1996s, base on Vietnam Government policies about use internal resources for development, as an investor, the Hanoi Public Lighting Company cooperated with some private shareholders to founded the Lighting & Electric JSC (acronym name is LITEC) for invest expand productions.
LITEC rented some industry workshops of Hanoi Public Lighting Company and quickly invested high-tech machineries to producing many kind of engineering components for outdoor lighting fixtures and producing the hot-dip galvanized steel lighting poles to supply for HAPULICO. Since proactively to have had the stable quality supply from Litec® and established more some departments such as design consultant, installation and distribution channels... then HAPULICO quickly becomes strong brandy on the filed of outdoor lighting in Vietnam, not only supply the lighting equipment but also supply the package solutions.
Until years 2007s, after nearly 20 years of reform and opening up, Vietnam Economy has been achieving strongly, Hanoi City also becoming more crowded and Hanoi City Government requires all factory inside city soon moving out to have room for development. Then Hapulico Real Estate Investment Joint Stock Company (Hapulico_Res JSC) founded by HAPULICO and LITEC and others shareholders to invest build new urban on the land of existing factory and achievement of years later is modern Hapulico Complex Buildings as today.

But except lighting field, the word "Hapulico" becoming as familiar name of a place of Thanh Xuan district Hanoi City and familiar name associated with other services such as Hapulico Complex; Hapulico Medicine Market; Hapulico Center Building; Hapulico Swimming Pool; Hapulico Kindergarten...
