What Garen does

Garen Automação S.A is a Brazilian manufacturer of automation, access control, and security products, headquartered in Garça, São Paulo, with an employee base of 501-1,000. The company markets itself as the leader in automation and access control in Brazil and operates an extensive product portfolio that spans gate automatizers (swing, sliding, pivot), automatic barriers and doors, tubular motors and rolling shutters, electric fence energizers, access control hardware (turnstiles, facial recognition terminals, controllers, LPR cameras, electromagnetic locks, access totems), CCTV systems (IP and analog cameras, XVR and NVR recorders), alarm panels and sensors, smart home devices, intercoms, video doorbells, digital locks, power supplies, UPS units, and welding machines. The technical foundation rests on proprietary BLDC (brushless DC) motor technology applied across gate operators, automatic doors, and barriers, supplemented by Onvif Profile S/T-compliant CCTV and integrations with third-party access control platforms such as Senior Sistemas, CONDFY, EasyFront, Quality Systems, and W2i. The Garen ITS division extends the offering into ISO 9001-certified Intelligent Transport Systems for BRT and VLT stations.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales, with software (Garen View VMS, Garen+ installer app, access management software) distributed largely on a freemium basis to drive hardware pull-through. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products are quoted and sold exclusively through a 250+ authorized distributor network across Brazil, supplemented by trained installers and integrators who deploy and service the products for residential, condominial, industrial, parking/toll, and transportation infrastructure end customers. Marketing is conducted through digital channels (blog, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, email newsletter) and trade events such as Exposec. Following the November 2025 majority stake and April 2026 full acquisition by Italian multinational FAAC Technologies, Garen now operates as a subsidiary within the FAAC Group, with FAAC's stated intent to use the platform for Latin American expansion.

Product overview

Garen is Brazil's leading manufacturer of automation and access control systems, operating as a comprehensive solutions provider rather than a single product company. The product portfolio centers on gate automation (automatizadores for swing, sliding, and pivot gates) and access control systems (turnstiles, facial recognition terminals, barriers, readers), supported by electronic control boards and accessories. The offering extends into complementary categories including automatic doors, rolling shutters, electric fences, smart home devices (energy, lighting, security), intercoms, video doorbells, CCTV systems (IP and analog cameras with NVR/XVR recorders), alarm systems, power supplies, digital locks, tubular motors, welding machines, and UPS systems. The company serves three main market segments: Residential (residências), Condominial (condominiums), and Industrial, with specialized solutions like Garen ITS for BRT/VLT transportation systems. Key platforms include the Garen+ mobile app for installers (with benefits program), Garen View CCTV VMS and app, and Garen Access Management Software with native integration to third-party platforms like CONDFY, Sênior Sistemas, Quality Systems, EasyFront, and W2i. Recent 2025 product launches include new IP camera lines (Dome and Bullet with IR and Hybrid Light), NVR recorders (9 and 16 channel), and the Cancela Intense Pro BLDC barrier.
