Paez Fletcher Company

What Paez Fletcher Company does

PFC Controls, the trade name of Paez Fletcher Company, is a factory-certified access control and gate automation distributor founded in 1991 and headquartered at 1638 NW 108th Ave., Miami, FL 33172. The company distributes a broad catalog of vehicular and pedestrian access hardware—including sliding and swing gate operators, barrier gates, bollards, turnstiles, automatic doors, parking management systems, intercoms, proximity readers, face recognition terminals, smart controllers, electric locks, hotel locks, solar/power backup, and remotes/accessories—drawn from at least 11 manufacturing brands (DITEC, Roger Technology, LiftMaster, Nice, Anker, Pilomat, Anson, Viatron, Farfisa, Commax, Linear).

PFC operates as a B2B distribution intermediary rather than an OEM: it holds factory certifications enabling it to stock, sell, and provide first-line technical support on third-party branded equipment, eliminating the need for trade buyers to contact manufacturers directly. The portfolio is sold on a quote-based, multi-year-contract model with no public pricing, and the company maintains a bilingual English/Spanish website and WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger contact channels. Customer segments span commercial properties, residential communities, industrial/logistics facilities, and pedestrian access control installations across South Florida, with the bilingual presence suggesting outreach into Latin American buyers.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales (and adjacent accessories such as smart controllers, solar, and power stations) to installers, contractors, and end-user facilities. The 11-50 employee headcount, single-warehouse footprint, and absence of disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A activity indicate a privately held, regional specialty distributor rather than a high-growth tech company. Newer product categories—including face recognition devices with temperature measurement, YOUPARK automated parking pay stations, Anker power stations, and Orbita hotel locks—represent incremental catalog breadth rather than a documented strategic pivot.
