Arnlea's HISTORY

Our Story So Far...

From our base in Aberdeen, Scotland – the energy capital of Europe – Arnlea has grown from a specialist software provider into a trusted global partner in hazardous area operations. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve evolved alongside the energy industry, developing cutting-edge digital solutions that improve safety, efficiency, and compliance.

Our flagship software, Nexar, is the result of decades of expertise in Ex inspections, asset management, and digital transformation. Built for use in the world’s most demanding environments, Nexar empowers frontline teams with powerful mobile tools, real-time data access, and seamless ERP integration.

Today, we continue to work closely with the world’s largest energy companies, helping them move from paper to platform — safely, securely, and at scale.
