Arthursen

What Arthursen does

Arthursen, S.L. is a privately-held Spanish business consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Las Rozas (Madrid metropolitan area). It delivers professional services across five declared verticals — construction & materials, agrofood, manufacturing, retail, and digital & services — through three service pillars: 'Vender más' (strategy, sales, digital transformation, market intelligence, internationalization), 'Ser más rentable' (operations transformation and cost optimization) and 'Más seguridad' (risk/compliance, interim management, family succession, environmental consulting, management dashboards). The firm also runs a corporate training program (#ArthursenFormación) covering circular economy, Industry 4.0, environmental risks, and strategic design. Operations are entirely domestic: the firm operates from a single office in Spain and serves mid-market and enterprise clients only.

The firm's technology stack consists of two proprietary online tools — Autochequeo, a free self-diagnostic questionnaire across five business areas, and RECOGE, a cost-savings calculator covering 14 categories of general business expenses — plus the annual Observatory 360º market research product for ANDIMAC and the AC Stocks barter network for excess inventory. It is a services firm, not a software firm; its differentiators rest on senior practitioner experience, proprietary frameworks, and industry-association relationships rather than technology IP.

Arthursen generates revenue through bespoke consulting engagements and corporate training programs priced on project scope and duration, billed under multi-year or project-based contracts (specific fees not publicly disclosed). Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by content marketing (website blog, newsletter, LinkedIn), industry-event presence (e.g. ANDIMAC congress), webinars for association members, and a network of specialist collaborators (legal, tax, audit, IT, engineering) who refer work both into and out of the firm. The eight named professionals on the public team, led by founding partners Luis Aragoneses and Lorenzo Marazuela (both alumni of Arthur Andersen, KPMG Consulting and Bearing Point), along with named association clients ANDIMAC, ANDECE and FIAB, constitute the operational backbone. No external investors, parent company, M&A activity, or revenue disclosure exists in the public record.
