Arme Group

What Arme Group does

Arme Group (گروه آرمه) is a Tehran-headquartered specialty construction contractor founded in 2005 that designs, executes, and supplies materials for prestressed concrete structures in Iran. Its core technical offering centers on prestressing/post-tensioning systems, U-Boot hollow core slabs, and Kavak waffle slabs, supported by an exclusive Iranian dealership for CB Italy prestressing products established in 2016. The company operates from Pasdaran, Tehran, with 51-100 employees and a multi-subsidiary structure (ArmeBen as the core operating entity, ArmeDeck, and Farabana Novin Qeshm) that separates construction, decking, and regional activities.

The company's revenue model combines project-based construction execution, equipment and material supply (including imported CB Italy prestressing products), and free pre-contract engineering consulting that functions as a lead-generation mechanism for downstream contract conversion. Its customer base spans industrial clients (Fakoor Sanat Tehran, Fooladin Zob Amol), large private developers (Azarakhsh International Group), residential/investment firms (Maskan Investment), government and religious endowments (Astan Qods Razavi), nonprofit institutions (Foundation for Special Diseases), and sports organizations (Wrestling Federation), with 100+ completed projects distributed across approximately 30 Iranian provinces. Arme positions itself as a technology-led specialty contractor, evidenced by its CB Italy exclusive dealership, deployment of the first Kavak waffle slab in Gorgan in 2019, and industry knowledge-building activities including a 2016 educational seminar and 2015 publication support.

Broad incumbents

• Doka Group: Austrian formwork specialist serving large building and infrastructure projects globally. Adjacent comparable as a technology-led concrete construction supplier; overlaps with Arme on slab formwork but is far broader in scope.
• PERI Formwork Systems: Global formwork and scaffolding major with a much wider product portfolio than Arme. Adjacent comparable in supplying formwork and slab-shaping systems to concrete contractors, but not a direct post-tensioning competitor.

Direct peers

• BBR VT International: Swiss-headquartered specialist in prestressing and post-tensioning systems with a global franchise network. Comparable to Arme in its combination of specialist engineering, proprietary post-tensioning hardware, and contractor execution.
• SRG Global: Australian post-tensioning specialist contractor active across MENA and Asia. Comparable to Arme as a focused post-tensioning design-build contractor operating in regional construction markets, including work in the Gulf and Iran-adjacent geographies.
• DYWIDAG Systems International: Global supplier and contractor of post-tensioning, ground anchoring, and concrete repair systems. Directly competes with Arme on post-tensioning cables, anchors, and structural strengthening services for bridges and buildings.
• VSL International: Subsidiary of Bouygues Construction specialized in post-tensioning systems, stay cables, and ground anchors for buildings and infrastructure. Directly comparable in technology stack, project delivery, and supply of post-tensioning hardware.
• Daliform Group: Italian manufacturer and licensor of the U-Boot bidirectional voided slab system — the same technology Arme markets under its U-Boot product line. Comparable as the upstream technology owner and international peer in hollow core slab construction.
• Geoplast: Italian manufacturer of reusable polymer formwork systems including waffle/ribbed slab products analogous to Arme's Kavak line. Comparable as a specialty formwork technology provider serving the same hollow/waffle slab niche.
• Sun Engineering: Italian specialist contractor in prestressed concrete structures, with strong activity across the Middle East and North Africa. Closely comparable in offering post-tensioning design and execution services similar to Arme's ArmeBen subsidiary.
• Freyssinet: French global leader in post-tensioning and prestressed concrete construction for bridges, buildings, and infrastructure. Closely comparable to Arme Group's core prestressing technology services and full design-build delivery model.
