ARC Project

What ARC Project does

ARC Project sa is a Swiss privately held architectural cladding services company founded in 2005 that delivers end-to-end exterior and interior covering solutions for architecture studios and private clients. The company supplies premium materials including marble, stone, wood, and ceramics, combined with design consultancy, material selection advisory, precision technical surveying, project engineering, cutting and installation drawings, and on-site installation services. ARC Project operates across Switzerland and Italy through its headquarters in Lugano/Savosa and its subsidiary ARC Studio srl in Mariano Comense, Italy, supported by an offices/showroom facility in Savosa.

The company's technical workflow centers on the FARO Laser Scanner LS-120 for precision technical surveys and 2D/3D graphic restitution of as-built conditions, enabling accurate measurement and documentation for complex cladding projects. ARC Project executes a direct enterprise field sales motion, engaging architecture studios and private clients on national and international projects from initial material selection consultancy through to on-site installation. Revenue is generated via professional services fees tied to material supply and project execution, with two identified revenue streams: cladding materials and installation services, and consultancy and engineering services.

The company maintains a lean team of approximately 21 employees and has been independently operated since its 2005 founding, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Its value proposition rests on full in-house capability from design through installation, quality control across all processing phases, and bilingual Swiss-Italian operations that enable cross-border project execution. Publicly disclosed pricing, customer logos, leadership bios, certifications, patents, and revenue figures are absent from the available source data.

• Levantina y Asociados: Spanish multinational natural stone company with quarries, processing facilities, and global distribution. Overlaps with ARC Project's stone cladding activities but operates at much larger scale and with vertical quarry-to-installation integration.
• Marazzi Group: Major Italian ceramics manufacturer with extensive architectural surface portfolio. Overlaps with ARC Project's ceramic cladding offering but at much larger scale and broader market positioning.

Direct peers

• Stone Italiana: Italian engineered quartz and stone surface manufacturer with strong architectural project focus. Similar material specialization and architectural clientele with comparable size and European market orientation.
