What Meypar does

Meypar (legal name: Maquinaria Estacionamientos y Parkímetros, S.L.) is a Spanish manufacturer of parking control machinery, software, and integrated systems, headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) and wholly owned by the 80-year-old diversified industrial conglomerate Oliva Torras Grup, whose Manresa-based industrial complex manufactures all Meypar equipment. The company's portfolio spans four solution families — Access and Ticketless Systems, Payment Systems, Management Systems, and Integrable Systems — built on proprietary hardware (EVO generation terminals, Optima 360 solar-powered parking meters, automatic barriers, ticket dispensers, exit payment terminals, guidance signage) and the Nexus web-based control centre that enables real-time, two-way communication and centralized monitoring across single or multi-site operations. Core technical capabilities include License Plate Recognition (LPR) for ticketless and freemove operation, long-range TAG integration with the Via-T tolling platform, native integrations with fitness management software (Resamania, Provis), mobile payment via Google Pay, Apple Pay, and the newly launched EVO QRPay, plus electric vehicle charging integration; the company also holds ISO 9001 and ENS (RD311-2022) certifications and is working toward WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance.

Meypar serves enterprise customers across at least eight verticals: shopping centres (primary), supermarket chains, parking operators, hospitals and healthcare networks, exhibition and convention venues, urban/street parking administrations, truck stops and lorry parks, and gyms and sports centres. Reference customers include Fira de Barcelona Gran Via (7 car parks, 4,500+ vehicles under centralized Nexus control), Unicentro Bogotá, Larcomar (Peru), and the Catalan municipality of Passeig de Vic. The company operates through direct enterprise sales plus an authorized distributor and technical assistance network, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Mexico (where it claims market leadership), the United States, and Peru, and additional reach in Italy and Colombia. Revenue mechanics combine hardware sales (terminals, meters, barriers), software licensing and platforms (Nexus, EVO QRPay), professional services (engineering, consulting, installation, mobility studies), and recurring after-sales support under tiered preventive maintenance contracts; pricing is custom and quote-based rather than publicly disclosed.

The business is supported by active marketing through case studies and major industry events (Smart City Expo World Congress, Intertraffic Amsterdam, International Retail Congress in Lima), and a growing product roadmap that includes EV charging and frictionless mobile payment. Meypar is positioned as a mid-sized, vertically integrated European parking technology provider with strong Latin American traction but limited visibility into its financial profile as a privately held subsidiary.
