ARPOL

What ARPOL does

ARPOL (legal name: Arpol Systemy Sp. z o.o.) is a Polish value-added distributor and systems integrator for electronic security systems, founded in 1993 in Poznań and operating for over 30 years. The company distributes and integrates products from world-class manufacturers including Bosch, Axis, Genetec, Vivotek, 2N, HID, ASSA ABLOY, SATEL, OPTEX, CIAS, METEL, Zyxel, and SHARP/NEC. Its core technical offering centers on Genetec Security Center — a unified platform combining video surveillance (Omnicast), access control (Synergis), perimeter protection, and ALPR (AutoVu) — overlaid onto multi-vendor hardware stacks (network cameras, access readers, intercoms, intrusion panels, fire alarm systems, public address/voice evacuation, industrial PoE switches, and SHARP/NEC visualization walls).

ARPOL sells to Polish installation companies, system integrators, and security specialists through three regional offices (Poznań HQ, Warsaw, Kraków), a B2B e-commerce platform (b2b.arpol.pl), and a retail showroom in Poznań. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware distribution (unit-based, quote-driven pricing with periodic promotional campaigns) plus professional services — system design and implementation support, technical support and RMA maintenance, and certified training programs (Genetec and Bosch AVENAR certifications). The company holds top-tier vendor recognition: highest sales of Bosch and IQSIGHT CCTV systems in Poland (2023, 2025), Axis Distributor of the Year (2023), Genetec Regional Partner of the Year for Eastern & Central Europe (2023), and Certified Genetec Training Center status (2025). It is currently expanding its Poznań headquarters (May 2026 to March 2027) to add warehouse capacity, offices, and an additional training room, and was listed in the Gazele Biznesu 2025 ranking of most dynamic Polish SMEs.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Controls Security Products: Global provider of building management, fire detection, and security solutions with a strong European footprint. Comparable to ARPOL in fire/security integration scope and enterprise customer base, especially in banking, public administration, and critical infrastructure.
• ADI Global Distribution: Global value-added distributor of security, AV, and low-voltage products serving integrators across multiple regions. ADI is the closest large-scale analogue to ARPOL's distribution-plus-integration model, operating with similar multi-vendor franchise structure (Bosch, Genetec, Axis, etc.) and serving installer/integrator channels.
• ScanSource: US-based distributor of security, AV, and communication solutions, working with integrators and resellers across multiple verticals. Comparable to ARPOL in value-added distribution model and multi-OEM franchise structure, but with much larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Stanley Security: Division of Securitas providing electronic security systems integration (CCTV, access control, intrusion, fire) globally across enterprise verticals. Overlaps with ARPOL's service portfolio and customer segments (banks, public administration, critical infrastructure) at much larger scale.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Global provider of building security, access control, and integrated building management systems targeting commercial real estate, healthcare, airports, and public sector. Overlaps with ARPOL in BMS/security integration and in serving many of the same enterprise verticals in Poland.
• Anixter International (Wesco): Now part of Wesco International, Anixter is a global low-voltage and security products distributor with deep relationships to integrators worldwide. Comparable to ARPOL in multi-vendor distribution, training programs, and integration enablement, but at vastly greater scale and global reach.
• Securitas Technology: Electronic security division of Securitas AB focused on integrated security solutions (CCTV, access control, intrusion) for enterprise customers across Europe. Comparable to ARPOL in vertical mix and integrated platform approach, with significantly larger geographic and resource footprint.

Others

• Genetec: Owner of the Genetec Security Center platform (ARPOL's core integration platform) and ARPOL's most strategic OEM partner. Genetec is a software/comparison lens rather than a direct competitor — its direct-sales motion in Poland could compete with or bypass ARPOL, making it both a critical partner and a strategic risk.
• HID Global (Assa Abloy): Manufacturer of access control and identity solutions distributed by ARPOL. As an OEM partner, HID is a supplier rather than a competitor, but its growing direct and managed-services offerings overlap with ARPOL's integration value-add and represent a channel-shift risk.

Direct peers

• Convergint Technologies: Global security, fire alarm, and life-safety systems integrator with strong presence across EMEA, delivering integrated Genetec/Bosch/Axis-based solutions to enterprise customers. Comparable to ARPOL in systems integration approach, vertical mix (banks, airports, stadiums, public sector), and reliance on the same OEM ecosystem.
