History

What is today ARCOIN was founded by José Juan and dates back to 2006, when it was created as a company to produce the branches of LA CAJA INSULAR DE CANARIAS, which was undergoing a period of expansion.

As a result of the growth in its activity and turnover, it later joined the company José Antonio in 2007 before starting a phase of significant business growth in terms of its activity, including personnel appointed, investments and the attracting of new clients.

Our implementation of the AENOR ISO UNE-EN ISO:9001-2008 quality management system and our CLASSIFICATION AS A STATE CONTRACTOR under Group C: BUILDING, CATEGORY E in 2008 was when we began to consolidate our position as a construction company, a significant part of our turnover being from contracts with the Public Authorities.

2009 was a year in which the crisis in the construction sector affected us in terms of both obtaining contracts and turnover. We therefore decided to diversify our activity into the Services and Concessions sector.

In 2010, our goal was to consolidate our position as a construction company in the Canary Island Archipelago and to implement the AENOR UNE-EN ISO: 14001 environmental management system. We also decided to increase our CLASSIFICATION AS STATE CONTRACTORS IN CONSTRUCTION AND SERVICES to be able to increase our turnover with the Public Authorities.

In 2011 we implemented the AENOR NORMA UNE-EN ISO: 14001 Environmental Management System and the AENOR OHSAS 18001 Occupational health and Safety Management System.

VALUE CREATION UNDER CONDITIONS OF ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

MISSION AND STRATEGY

The mission of ARCOIN  is to create value under conditions of economic, social and environmental sustainability, in line with the specific interests of its clients, the company workforce and the group of people and organisations interested in its success.

To fulfil this mission, ARCOIN builds, organises and manages environments to improve the quality of life of citizens.

ARCOIN  is a construction company and this will remain its core business in the future. All of its areas of diversification have become activities closely linked to construction and to the services sector, with great growth potential.

ARCOIN  has defined long-term policies that become business strategies, including the following:

  • Continuity in the growth of the Regional Construction Division, primarily civil engineering and residential building.
  • Consolidation of the Concessions business line as one of the main divisions of the company and where the bulk of investment is made.
  • Consolidation in the services sector
  • Strengthening of the Environmental and Quality activity

    Firm commitment to maintain a solid financial structure based on the use of long-term financial resources.

CORPORATE RESPONSABILITY

Corporate responsibility is put into practice at ARCOIN  through its commitment towards continuous improvement, innovation and anticipation, transparency of information and the rational and balanced integration of diversity in the areas where it works and in its relationship with all interested parties to ensure dialogue and transparency with the groups of interest form the focal points.

Financial management, based on improved productivity, increased investment and risk diversification through geographic expansion, has an impact on the financial conditions of its groups of interest and on the surroundings in which it is present, promoting the generation of the business network and the creation of employment.

Good governance involves the responsibility, efficiency and transparency of the managing bodies of a company. However, for ARCOIN it also involves anticipation, providing feasible solutions in advance, adopting new organisational formulas and renewing behavioural and communications strategies.

The responsibility of ARCOIN towards its employees focuses on creating safe, stable conditions and workplaces, encouraging their professional and personal development and promoting diversity and equal opportunities. Occupational risk prevention is particularly relevant for ARCOIN and this policy is developed in a modern, effective manner. Promoting and maintaining a prevention culture is its constant commitment towards company employees and towards society in general.

Environmental responsibility and preservation of the natural environment are present in all ARCOIN activities. Aware of the environmental impact of our activity, our challenge for 2010 consisted of implementing an Environmental Management System to ensure compliance with regulations and environmental improvement in the undertaking of our activities.

Permanently striving for quality and excellence in all ARCOIN activities, the company maintains a degree of internal exigency to ensure client satisfaction through compliance with legal and contractual requirements to a level that is above their expectations.

ARCOIN considers innovation and technological development to be one of the mainstays for ensuring the greater financial efficiency of its activities and, in short, for increasing competitiveness while respecting the environment and ensuring social responsibility.

ARCOIN  is greatly aware of the need to involve all of its colleagues, suppliers and subcontractors in expanding the values, good practice and behaviour of ARCOIN  while performing their activities and services. Clearly and precisely establishing the bases of contracts, streamlining communication and dialogue and providing the necessary assistance and training to ensure they take part in the ARCOIN  management systems is of mutual benefit and favours sustainable growth.
