LLOP

What LLOP does

Llop Gestió Esportiva S.L. (LLOP) is a Catalan sports facility management company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sant Just Desvern, Barcelona. Operating as a subsidiary of the Sintagmia Group, the company manages more than 30 municipal sports facilities across Catalonia and has extended its footprint to Elorrio in the Basque Country via the UTE ATHLON SINTAGMIA joint venture with ATHLON, a Basque cooperative. Its core offering is end-to-end operation of public sports infrastructure — pools, fitness centers, football fields, racquet courts, and multipurpose spaces — supplemented by activity programming for children, adults, and seniors, summer camps, personal training, and health/aesthetic services.

LLOP's revenue model rests on concession contracts and service agreements awarded by municipal governments and public administrations through public tender processes. Pricing is contract-based and not publicly disclosed. The company differentiates through proprietary technology in the form of Tankwam, a custom facility-management software co-developed with technology partner Dataxip for unified user, reservation, and space management, and through the ENS MOVEM online platform for live and on-demand directed activity sessions launched in 2020. Sustainability-oriented retrofits (biomass heating, HVAC upgrades) deliver measurable energy and cost savings that strengthen renewal positioning. In December 2025, LLOP announced the merger by absorption of SVH Gestió Esportiva S.L., consolidating a sibling Sintagmia entity under LLOP with accounting effects from 1 January 2025.

Broad incumbents

• Clece (ACS Group): Major Spanish facility management and social services company owned by ACS, with a sports and public-administration services division that bids into the same municipal tenders as LLOP.
• Sodexo: Global facility management and food services group with a sports and leisure segment; competes for larger municipal and institutional sports facility management contracts across Spain.
• Eulen: Large Spanish multiservice facility management group that regularly bids on municipal sports facility concessions; competes on scale, cross-region reach, and integrated services rather than local specialization.
• Serveo (formerly Ferrovial Servicios): Spanish infrastructure and facility services company spun out of Ferrovial, active in public-sector facility management including sports and leisure venues; a credible incumbent competitor for Spanish municipal contracts.
• ISS A/S: Global facility services company with significant public-sector and sports facility management exposure; provides integrated facility management that competes with LLOP's offering at the larger end of the market.

Direct peers

• Emtesport: Local Catalan sports management services company that competes directly with LLOP for municipal sports facility concession contracts in the same geography and customer segment.
• Ingesport (GO fit): Spanish sports facility management and fitness operator that designs, builds, and manages sports centers for municipalities and private clients; directly comparable business model targeting the same public-sector customers.
