What Kaizen Ingenieria does

Kaizen Ingeniería is an Argentine industrial electrical construction and engineering firm founded in 2012 in Salta by Martín Arzelán and Gustavo Agostini, operating as a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SRL). It specializes in the design, execution, and commissioning of low voltage, medium voltage, and instrumentation infrastructure for industrial plants, with four integrated service lines: Media Tensión (overhead and underground MT lines, transformer stations, protection systems, Hi-pot/VLF testing), Baja Tensión (grounding meshes, conduits, switchboards with FAT testing, variable frequency drives and soft starters), General and Detail Engineering (in-situ surveys, technical memos, and engineering development), and Instrumentation & Control (instrument pre-commissioning and calibration, PLC and SCADA programming, fiber optics, HART configuration, loop testing, and startup assistance).

The company operates a project-based, turnkey (llave en mano) business model, delivering one-off construction, expansion, modification, and maintenance contracts to enterprise industrial clients — primarily in mining (Eramet, Rio Tinto, Galan Lithium, Litica Resources, Mansfield Minera, M3 Engineering), food, beverage, and tobacco (LEDESMA, Arca Continental, Seaboard, Ceramica del Norte), with Worley acting as an engineering services partner. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with long-cycle relationship management. Quality is anchored by ISO 9001:2015 certification issued by Bureau Veritas in 2018.

The firm is headquartered in Salta and operates additional offices in Catamarca, Neuquén, and Río Negro (Cipolletti), the latter two opened in 2024 as part of a national expansion that also included the creation of two UTEs (temporary joint ventures) by 2020. Headcount grew from the founding team to a peak of 200+ collaborators during the expansion phase, with a current stated workforce of more than 120 professionals. The firm maintains a strategic alliance with Contreras y Servicios Andinos and is a Silver sponsor of Fundación Cóndor in the Salta Puna region.

Core offering

Kaizen Ingeniería is an industrial electrical construction and engineering firm that executes turnkey projects for low voltage (Baja Tensión), medium voltage (Media Tensión), and instrumentation systems for industrial plants. Services span design (general and detail engineering), execution (overhead and underground line construction, switchboards, grounding), and commissioning (PLC/SCADA programming, fiber optic, HART configuration, startup support) for clients in mining, food, beverage, tobacco, and manufacturing industries across Argentina.

Product overview

Kaizen Ingeniería is a single, integrated industrial electrical engineering services firm rather than a software product company. It operates as a unified portfolio of four coordinated service lines: (1) Media Tensión (Medium Voltage) Services — covering the construction, expansion, modification, and maintenance of medium voltage electrical infrastructure including overhead and underground lines, transformer stations, and protection systems; (2) Baja Tensión (Low Voltage) Services — covering low voltage electrical installations including grounding, conduits, conductors, power switchboards, and variable speed drives; (3) General and Detail Engineering Development — providing in-situ surveys, technical documentation, and project engineering; and (4) Instrumentación y Control (Instrumentation and Control) — covering instrumentation, PLC/SCADA programming, fiber optics, and control loop services. These service lines are offered together as turnkey (llave en mano) solutions for industrial clients across mining, food, beverage, and tobacco sectors.
