What Came Spa does

Came Spa (legal entity CAME S.p.A.) is a privately held Italian manufacturer specializing in access control, gate automation, parking management, and building automation systems, headquartered in Dosson di Casier, Treviso, Italy. Founded in the 1970s-1980s, the company employs more than 1,400 people across production plants and commercial subsidiaries in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Its core product portfolio spans gate operators (GARD PT Brushless, LS4, LT4, LHS), automatic barriers, intercom systems (MTM video entry range under CAME BPT), bollards and high-security systems, parking systems, turnstiles and automatic doors, plus the CAME DOMOTIC 3.0 smart home/building platform and QBE smart home controller.

The technology stack is anchored by over 50 patents, a 120-strong engineering and drafting team, and an in-house Testing Department that validates durability at scale (e.g., 4 million MCBF cycles on the GARD PT Brushless barrier). The CAME Connect cloud platform enables remote registration, programming, and management of CAME systems, while Lince 7 (under the CAME Parkare division) provides multi-parking management software with license plate recognition, real-time traffic monitoring, and EV charging station integration.

Came Spa operates a B2B2C go-to-market model through a global network of certified installers and professional partners, supplemented by direct enterprise sales for large parking and security projects. Revenue derives from hardware sales (the dominant stream), subscription-based CAME Connect cloud services, professional services (consulting, on-site start-up, technical assistance), and managed services for parking infrastructure. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company holds reference deployments at major airports including London Gatwick (40,000 spaces), Mexico City, Barcelona-El Prat, 31 Mexican airports, 25 Spanish airport terminals, and landmark sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Expo Milano 2015, and EXPO Astana 2017. Acquisitions of CAME Parkare (2014) and Motorline (2024) have expanded the parking and high-security vehicle barrier franchises respectively.
