After another year of expansion and building capabilities, Argon & Co enters 2026 focused on broadening its industry reach.
Argon & Co has closed 2025 on a high note, marked by steady growth, diversification, and continued evolution in its consulting capabilities. The business strengthened its position across Australia and New Zealand while expanding globally, cementing its reputation as a trusted transformation partner that helps clients move from strategy to execution. The company’s success has been underpinned by its ability to grow despite volatile market conditions. 2025 also saw Argon & Co refine its model as a true end-to-end transformation partner – one that helps organisations design, implement, and deliver operational change across the value chain.
“2025 has been another year of strong growth,” says David Bissett, Managing Partner at Argon & Co. “Australia and New Zealand have really established themselves as key markets for our business. We’ve been able to grow despite the market being fairly volatile and uncertain at times, which shows that the strengths within our business are closely aligned with market needs.”
That alignment, he adds, is central to the company’s mission of helping clients “see real change” – a core part of the firm’s identity and brand.
Key milestones and expansion
Over the past year, Argon & Co recorded growth across its core business lines – logistics, manufacturing, planning, and procurement – with its procurement practice emerging as one of the standout performers. Acquisitions and regional expansion also played a key role in strengthening its capabilities.
The merger with Melbourne-based Bevington Group added a new dimension to Argon & Co’s offering, bringing in strategic and operating model expertise to complement its operational strengths. The firm also grew its workforce to more than 230 consultants across ANZ and opened a new office in Kuala Lumpur (KL), marking a step into the broader Southeast Asian market.
“We’ve grown beyond 200 consultants, merged with Bevington, and opened new offices in Brisbane, Perth and KL,” David says. “At a global level, we now have market presence in 15 countries. So, we’ve expanded rapidly both locally and globally.”
These moves, combined with organic growth across core service areas, have positioned Argon & Co to continue scaling sustainably in 2026 and beyond. Uncertainty across global and local markets hasn’t slowed the firm’s progress. While economic softness and supply chain volatility have prompted many organisations to focus on cost-out and productivity initiatives, Argon & Co has been able to meet those needs head-on.
The consultancy’s focus on operational efficiency and business transformation has proved especially relevant for companies seeking measurable improvement. Its client partnerships increasingly centre on delivering efficiency gains and building agility into operations – two priorities heightened by ongoing market disruption.
“The volatility in the market has had many clients focusing on productivity improvement and cost-out initiatives,” David explains. “That’s right in our wheelhouse. Our natural positioning is around operational excellence, supporting productivity improvement with cost-out outcomes – and those capabilities are in high demand.”
This focus has allowed Argon & Co to build resilience while preparing for the next phase of growth as confidence returns to the market.
Southeast Asia has emerged as a strategic growth area for Argon & Co, complementing its well-established presence in Australia and New Zealand. The decision to expand into the region reflects both long-term opportunity and the company’s increasing collaboration with clients operating across borders.
From Southeast Asia, the firm aims to deepen ties with regional businesses while supporting ANZ clients with cross-market operations. The regional model with local capability enables Argon & Co to maintain strong local expertise while accessing a wider pool of global capability.
“Australia and New Zealand are on the doorstep of a very big, still-developing market,” David says. “Expanding into Southeast Asia allows us to access a bigger market and keep growing. Being in more markets gives us greater exposure and credibility with regional clients.”
With a global network of over 80 partners, the company leverages shared knowledge and resources across continents, ensuring each regional office benefits from the broader group’s experience and insights. At the same time, maintaining local delivery remains non-negotiable – an approach that, as David explains, continues to define the firm’s credibility with clients.
Technology and transformation
Technology has become a defining focus for Argon & Co, reflected in its continued investment in digital products and innovation. The company’s NEOS, IRIS, and MODE platforms illustrate how technology and operations now intersect across its consulting work. NEOS delivers systems integration services in partnership with leading software providers. IRIS focuses on bespoke AI and machine-learning solutions, while MODE is a digital work system designed for manufacturing environments – a tool that enhances workforce communication, safety, and performance.
“Technology can no longer sit outside of core business operations,” David says. “It’s both an enabler and a key driver of transformation. We want to be credible and central to that journey.”
The firm expects digital transformation to continue shaping consulting engagements in 2026, particularly as Australian and New Zealand organisations look to close the technology adoption gap with other global markets.
Looking ahead to 2026
Argon & Co enters the new year with strong momentum. The business plans to build on its existing client relationships, expand into new industry segments, and embed its strategy-to-execution model as a unified market proposition. The company also aims to cross-sell more of its integrated solutions, moving beyond single-service engagements to deliver broader transformation outcomes. At the same time, it plans to leverage its growing technology and data capabilities to drive more measurable results.
“We still see a lot of opportunity for deeper engagement in our core industries and through cross-selling our full suite of capabilities,” David says. “By the end of 2026, we want our full transformation capability – from strategy through to technology delivery – to be seen as one cohesive offer.”
The year ahead, he adds, will also focus on industry diversification and developing leadership across emerging sectors.

As a people-driven consultancy, Argon & Co recognises that sustained growth depends on investing in its workforce. The company has continued to refine its culture, leadership programs, and professional development pathways to attract and retain top talent. From graduate rotations to global leadership initiatives, Argon & Co has created a framework for continuous learning. The company recently held its first full-scale development week in Bali, where more than 230 staff took part in training focused on communication, personal growth, and leadership.
“We still see ourselves as a family business – in the most positive sense,” David says. “We build expertise and support through internal communities, and ensure there is focus on each individual team member. It’s not just about what they contribute to the company; it’s about providing opportunities and career pathways in return.”
Alongside these programs, Argon & Co continues to strengthen its HR, diversity, coaching, and wellbeing initiatives – ensuring that as the company scales, its people remain at the centre of every decision. Across its global network, Argon & Co’s guiding principle remains unchanged: to deliver real, measurable transformation for clients and its own teams alike. The firm’s steady evolution – from boutique consultancy to global transformation partner – reflects that vision in action.
“Everything we do is about delivering positive, measurable change,” David says. “That’s the value we bring, and it’s how we define real change.”
