What Wolpac does

Wolpac Soluções em Controle de Acesso Ltda is a Brazilian access control equipment and software provider founded in 1965 and headquartered in Ferraz de Vasconcelos, São Paulo state. The company manufactures and integrates a broad portfolio of pedestrian access products (pedestal, cabinet, full-height, and glass-barrier turnstiles), vehicle access products (barrier gates, bollards including crash-rated J275 HA 2K20), automatic platform doors, and the WolGuard software suite for centralized management of people and vehicle flow, fare collection, and door/turnstile control. Its technology stack emphasizes high-durability hardware (products rated for 10 million cycles), integration with facial recognition, biometric, QR/BCBP, and validator systems, and modular software for transportation and security use cases.

Wolpac operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italian conglomerate FAAC Technologies, joining the group through a 2019 merger with European access control leader Magnetic. Within FAAC's Brazil structure, Wolpac is being consolidated alongside Indústrias Rossi and the recently acquired Garen Automação S.A. (completed April 2026), creating an integrated access and automation platform across Brazil and Latin America. The company employs 101-250 people and operates direct sales coverage in Brazil and Colombia, with technical service delivered through sister company ATA Service. Its go-to-market is enterprise-focused B2B sales segmented into Security, Embedded Transportation, and Non-Embedded Transportation verticals, supported by integration partners (Sydel, PRODATA integrators, concessionaires such as CCR) and a quote-based pricing model with no public list pricing.

Revenue derives from three streams: one-time hardware product sales, recurring WolGuard software licenses, and professional services including installation, maintenance contracts, spare parts, and extended warranty through ATA Service. The customer base is anchored by major Brazilian public transportation and airport infrastructure projects (BRT Goiânia, BRT Rio, BRT Salvador, Metrô de Salvador, CPTM São Paulo, Terminal Pq. Dom Pedro II, BH Airport, Guarulhos Aeromóvel, Recife and Maceió airports) alongside enterprise customers in residential, commercial real estate, and broadcast/media sectors. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and operates under LGPD data privacy compliance.
