EL-Go Team

What EL-Go Team does

EL-GO Team is an Israeli-founded (1991) industrial manufacturer specializing in Urban Vehicular Access Control (UVAC) and Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) systems, headquartered in Kadima, Israel with a US sales office in Cleveland, Ohio. The company designs, manufactures, and installs crash-rated bollards (BLG, METIS, IMMOTUS series), road blockers (OPTIMUS wedge barrier, DAMPER surface-mounted system), arm barriers (EL-01 through EL-09 series), and road spikes, all certified to international crash standards including ASTM F2656 (M30/M40/M50), PAS68, and IWA 14-1:2013. Core technology centers on patented shallow-mount and surface-mount installation architectures that address urban environments where deep excavation is impossible, plus a patent-pending fully electric bollard actuator (EA-02-1.2) that displaces legacy hydraulic systems with oil-free, 87% energy-efficient operation.

The business model is primarily project-based hardware sales supplemented by a growing recurring software component (SeiraGuard cloud-based Street-Smart Management platform, launched 2022) and professional services including engineering design, installation, and ongoing support. Sales occur through direct enterprise field sales targeting government facilities, airports, military bases, critical infrastructure, and — more recently — religious institutions, commercial centers, and retail venues, supported by a global distributor network across 50+ countries. Customers include the Kremlin, Israeli Prime Minister's State Residence, Ben Gurion Airport, a 2018 Gulf State palace (described as the company's largest-ever project), Tashkent Airport, and various Olympic venues. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts on high-profile government sites (e.g., Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs since 1993) providing revenue stickiness. The company is privately held and founder-controlled by CEO David Hever and co-founder Yoram Eshel, with no disclosed external institutional investment.

Direct peers

• Nasatka Security: US manufacturer of crash-rated bollards, gates, and barrier systems for high-security applications. Directly comparable to EL-GO in North American government and military perimeter-security deployments.
• Frontier Pitts: UK manufacturer of bollards, automatic barriers, gates, and road blockers with PAS68/IWA-14 crash-rated products. Comparable to EL-GO across the same perimeter-security specification tiers and customer verticals.
• Bristorm: UK-based hostile vehicle mitigation specialist producing crash-tested bollards, fences, and barriers. Competes directly with EL-GO in the HVM niche, particularly across European and Middle Eastern government tenders.
• Calpipe Security Bollards: US manufacturer of security bollards and crash-rated pipe bollards serving commercial and government customers. Comparable to EL-GO at the lower crash-rating tiers (K4/K8) and for lighter-duty access control.
• Heald: UK-based hostile vehicle mitigation specialist manufacturing crash-rated bollards, road blockers, and barriers. Direct competitor to EL-GO Team in PAS68/IWA-14-certified HVM products for government and high-security sites.
• ATG Access: UK manufacturer of crash-tested bollards, road blockers, and barrier systems. Competes head-to-head with EL-GO in the same IWA-14/PAS68-certified segment serving airports, stadiums, and government facilities.
• Delta Scientific: US-based manufacturer of vehicle access control equipment including high-security bollards, barriers, and gates. Direct peer in crash-rated perimeter security for government, military, and critical infrastructure customers.

Broad incumbents

• Ameristar Fence Products: Large US perimeter-security manufacturer offering crash-rated bollards, fences, and gates as part of a broader portfolio. Overlaps with EL-GO in anti-ram bollards and barriers but competes more broadly across fencing.
• Gunnebo: Swedish-listed global security group offering entrance control, safe storage, and perimeter-security solutions including vehicle barriers. Larger incumbent that competes with EL-GO on integrated site-security projects for government and infrastructure.
• Jacksons Fencing: UK perimeter-security manufacturer offering fencing, gates, and crash-rated bollards and barriers. Overlaps with EL-GO on host-vehicle-mitigation products but as part of a wider fencing and gate portfolio.
