Sinec

What Sinec does

Sinec SA is an Argentine privately-held engineering services firm founded in 2009/2010, headquartered in Buenos Aires with regional offices in San Juan and Mendoza. The company provides integrated electrical energy solutions across the full electricity value chain—generation, transmission, and distribution—serving utilities, oil & gas, mining, industrial, and renewables/EV charging sectors in Argentina. Its offerings are organized into six service pillars: Consultoría (power system studies), Ingeniería (basic and detailed engineering for substations up to 750 kV and transmission lines), Ensayos y Mediciones (electrical testing and commissioning), Construcciones (electromechanical construction up to 500 kV), BIM (ISO 19650-certified building information modeling), and Drones (AI-assisted aerial inspection with thermal/LiDAR/multispectral/RTK payloads). Underlying technology includes PSS/E, DigSILENT PowerFactory, and ETAP for power system simulation, plus proprietary developments in automatic capacitor bank automation and voltage regulation.

Sinec operates a B2B professional services model with project-based pricing requiring custom quotes via direct engagement. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging technical reputation, ISO certifications, and a diversified project track record that includes framework contracts with YPF since 2012. Revenue is generated from five professional services streams across five vertical industries, with the firm employing 51–100 staff.

The business model relies on long-cycle enterprise project contracts (electrical infrastructure works measured in years), with each engagement spanning engineering design, construction, and commissioning. The firm does not disclose revenue, funding, or ownership structure beyond being privately held; its sole disclosed client relationship is the multi-year framework contract with Argentine oil major YPF. Customer acquisition depends on technical reputation and certification-led positioning rather than volume distribution.

Broad incumbents

• TSK: Spanish EPC contractor delivering power plants, substations, and renewable energy projects globally with operations in Latin America — competes with Sinec for energy infrastructure EPC work, with larger balance sheet and international execution.
• ABB: Global electrification, automation, and power infrastructure firm supplying substations, switchgear, protection, and grid solutions — overlaps with Sinec's testing, engineering, and EPC scope but at vastly larger scale and with proprietary equipment.
• Ingeteam: Spanish-headquartered electrical engineering and equipment firm with strong Latin American footprint in substations, protection, and renewable energy EPC — comparable in target verticals (utilities, renewables, mining) but with broader product and geographic reach.
• SENER: Spanish engineering and technology group with energy, infrastructure, and industrial projects across Latin America — comparable to Sinec in power generation, transmission, and renewable engineering but with significantly larger scale and diversified portfolio.
• Black & Veatch: Global engineering, procurement, and construction firm focused on power infrastructure, water, and telecommunications — competes with Sinec on utility-scale substation, transmission, and renewable integration work with broader international reach.
• Burns & McDonnell: US-headquartered engineering, architecture, and construction firm with a strong power transmission and substation EPC practice — directly comparable in substation and HV transmission engineering services but serving North American and select international markets.
• Siemens Energy: Global leader in power generation, transmission, and grid technology with significant presence in Argentine utility tenders — competes with Sinec on high-voltage substations, protection systems, and grid modernization work as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Schneider Electric: Global energy management and automation major with deep presence in power distribution, protection, and industrial electrification — comparable to Sinec in serving utilities, mining, and industrial clients, but with a global product suite and digital platforms.

Direct peers

• Teyma (Sacyr Concesiones): Uruguayan-founded EPC contractor with deep Argentine operations (now under Sacyr), delivering energy and infrastructure projects including substations and renewables — competes with Sinec on similar utility-scale tenders in the Southern Cone.
• Montelecnor: Argentine arm of Spain's Elecnor Group, providing electrical contracting, substations, transmission, and renewable energy infrastructure across the country — directly overlapping with Sinec's core EPC, O&G, and utility service lines in the same Argentine market.
