Arnco

What Arnco does

Arnco is a Swedish architectural and engineering consultancy headquartered in Gothenburg that specializes in bathhouses, leisure facilities, and sports arenas. The firm serves primarily municipal public-sector clients across Sweden — including the cities of Uddevalla, Göteborg, Malmö, Sundsvall, and Kristianstad — as well as private contractors and sports organizations such as Peab, NCC, and Malmö FF. Its reference portfolio includes high-profile facilities such as Kristianstad Arena, Hylliebadet, Malmö Stadion, and Tegera Arena, and the company has 15 years of operating history in a narrow facility-type niche.

The company delivers design and engineering services using BIM 3-5D methodology — an integrated digital modeling approach that extends traditional 3D building information modeling with scheduling (4D) and cost/project data (5D) — which Arnco has applied to complex aquatics and arena projects. Approximately 38 multidisciplinary engineers, architects, and project managers are organized under AMOMA-koncernen, with Oscar Örnmark serving as CEO. The firm also operates internationally, with projects delivered in Norway, Denmark, France, and Switzerland.

Arnco's commercial model is project-based consulting fees from municipal infrastructure contracts, supplemented by a newly launched recurring Remote Operations Engineer (Driftingenjör Badhus) service that provides ongoing operational support to existing bathhouse facilities. The combination of project-based milestone billing and recurring remote engineering subscription represents a deliberate shift toward a more diversified revenue base within a highly specialized domain.
