What Comelit Group does

Comelit Group S.p.A. is a privately held, family-owned Italian designer and manufacturer of integrated security and building automation systems, founded in 1956 in Bergamo and headquartered in Rovetta S. Lorenzo (BG). The company sells video intercom, access control, fire detection, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and home/building automation products through a portfolio anchored on its patented SimpleBus 2-wire intercom protocol (introduced 1999), the LogiFire/LogiVox fire and voice-evacuation platform, the Advance camera series using AI-ISP video analytics, and the PAC/PAC Lock access control ecosystem built on the Open Security Standard.

The business is operated as a horizontal platform serving residential, commercial/tertiary, industrial, institutional, and luxury real estate end markets, with revenue coming primarily from hardware sales through certified installer channels, complemented by project design services via the Project Specialist function, technical training and certification programs, and an emerging layer of cloud and remote-monitoring subscriptions. Comelit goes to market through a multi-layered channel model combining the ComelitPro professional portal, a global certified installer network, regional subsidiaries in the US (Los Angeles), UK (Comelit-PAC, London), France (Paris) and Asia-Pacific (Singapore), and distributor partnerships; commercial reach spans 96 countries, 8 R&D centers, and 14 group companies under family leadership with President Silvia Brasi.

In 2024 Comelit acquired the German video-intercom brand Ritto to consolidate DACH market position, and recent activity includes the 2026 launch of the PAC Lock offline locking solution, a strategic integration partnership with US multifamily operating system Livly (with Yardi and RealPage connectors), and enterprise deployments such as the Comelit-PAC fire alarm system at Genting Casino Westfield Stratford City. The company reported revenue of approximately €202 million in 2025 with 1,000+ employees and 30+ years of ISO 9001 / ~20 years of ISO 14001 certification as evidence of long-tenured operational maturity.
