AP3 Puertas Automáticas

What AP3 Puertas Automáticas does

RAC Puertas y Automatismos, S.L., operating as AP3 Puertas Automáticas, is a Spain-based specialist in the installation, repair, and maintenance of automatic doors and loading dock equipment, with continuous operations since 1986 and more than 35 years of founding-team sector experience. The company serves three primary verticals — industrial (manufacturing plants, logistics centers, warehouses), commercial/retail, and residential — from four regional delegations covering Catalonia (Barcelona headquarters, Granollers/Girona, Tarragona) and central Spain (Madrid-Centro in Seseña, Toledo). Its core product portfolio includes industrial doors (sectional, rapid roll-up and stackable, fire-rated sliding and swing, counterbalanced basculant, sliding, hanging sliding, guillotine vertical, and rolling shutters), commercial doors (automatic sliding glass, revolving glass, commercial rolling shutters), and complete loading dock systems (hydraulic ramps, retractable and inflatable shelters, wheel chocks, dock bumpers, traffic lights, spotlights, protection posts) under the RAC-ROHAN brand. Differentiated assets include the proprietary RAC APP mobile application for remote multi-door control and access management, and CE marking / regulatory compliance services spanning UNE-EN 13241-1, UNE 85.635, UNE 1398, UNE-EN 16005, and CTE standards.

Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring preventive maintenance contracts (subscription-style with periodic inspections, digital reports, and 24/7 priority repair), on-demand multi-brand repair services (one-time professional fees), new equipment supply and installation (hardware sales), and remote control/access management programming and licensing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed across all streams. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-customer — phone, WhatsApp, email, and on-site technical assessments — with no third-party resellers or distributors. A fleet of more than 70 equipped vehicles, including crane trucks and own lifting equipment, supports rapid response service across the operating geography. Marketing relies primarily on the company website (racpuertas.com) and direct contact channels, with limited digital marketing sophistication. The firm is a privately held Sociedad Limitada, founder-owned and managed, with no disclosed external private equity or institutional investment.
