Matthew McTighe, Product Marketing Coordinator, CAME ÖZAK discusses the increasing demand for access control solutions for pedestrians and vehicles.
Crowd management is critical in today’s environment since the demand for effective security solutions has never been greater.
Organisations across all industries are under increasing pressure to improve their pedestrian management systems. Turnstiles and speed gates are two of the most popular access control solutions for managing pedestrian traffic.
Subsequently, the CAME Group identified the opportunity for expansion within the pedestrian access control market, a sector within the security industry that has been a target for some time.
Exciting business expansion
In 2019, the CAME Group acquired ÖZAK due to the alignment of corporate objectives and a desire to expand within the pedestrian access control market.
As Turkey’s leading producer of physical access control systems, ÖZAK has achieved huge growth potential, now employing over 300 people and operating out of a large 28,000m squared facility located in Kocaeli, epitomising its success since 1974. Now operating with a worldwide sales network, it is not difficult to understand why CAME recognised the potential for business development.
The integration of CAME ÖZAK into the UK market has been strategically controlled due to the global challenges faced over the last two years, but now it is an exciting time to accelerate the growth of this business sector.
