Arco is a Belgian company with many years of expertise in cooling technology. Arco was founded by Luc Van Raemdonck and has three offices in Belgium: in Lokeren (head office), in Geel and in Charleroi. As a refrigeration company, Arco develops, renews, installs and maintains refrigeration and freezer installations, supermarket installations, air conditioning and heat pumps and air treatment systems. Arco specialises in developing, renewing, installing and maintaining refrigeration and freezer systems based on natural refrigerants such as ammonia or CO2. Every refrigeration project is unique, which is why Arco works closely with the customer to arrive at the best solution. In January 2025, Arco entered into a strategic partnership with industry peer Vos Technics, together operating under the Climate Pioneers banner. Vos Technics is known for its long-standing expertise in industrial refrigeration with natural gases and excels in designing and building technically complex refrigeration systems.

With Sofindev, Arco brings on board a powerful financial and strategic partner to continue the strong growth of its business. Arco will thereby seek to strengthen its position in its home market and continue its growth in Belgium and possibly beyond. Through the cooperation between Arco and Vos Technics, both companies will strengthen their position in the industrial refrigeration sector and become one of the largest players in Belgium. This means the group has greater leverage, this indicates an important step in its growth story. Further strategic acquisitions of complementary companies are not ruled out.
