Came Parkare

What Came Parkare does

CAME Parkare is a parking management technology company headquartered in Montcada i Reixac, Spain, operating as the parking solutions division of CAME Group (Came Cancelli Automatici S.p.A.), an Italian automated access systems conglomerate. The company provides enterprise parking infrastructure spanning hardware (barriers, payment terminals, ANPR cameras, guidance systems), cloud-based management software (Lince 7.0), and professional services (installation, maintenance, on-site support). Its product portfolio includes the PKE high-end and PKM mid-range parking systems, PKX payment stations (in Compact and Cashless variants), MFK multifunction kiosks, GARD GT4 and GARD PX barriers, the Optima vehicle guidance system, and ANPR-based license plate recognition. The company serves airports, shopping centers, hospitals, municipalities, hotels, toll operators, and corporate campuses across Spain, the UK, Germany, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, and the USA.

The company generates revenue through four primary streams: hardware sales (barriers, terminals, cameras), software licensing (Lince 7.0), installation services, and recurring maintenance plans. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large-scale operators, airport authorities, retail chains, and municipal governments with complex multi-site deployments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted in Euros per contract with standard 12-month warranties. Notable enterprise customers include Barcelona El-Prat Airport, Mexico City Airport (6,200+ spaces), GAP's 12 Mexican airports, El Corte Inglés, and AQUA Shopping Center.

The company's strategic positioning emphasizes a comprehensive parking ecosystem approach, combining proprietary hardware, software, and services under an 'open platform' philosophy that supports ticketless operations, cashless payments, and integration with third-party systems. As a subsidiary of CAME Group, CAME Parkare benefits from distribution synergies across the broader access control portfolio (barriers, bollards, turnstiles, automatic doors). The company has been actively modernizing its product line with two new payment terminal launches in 2025-2026 (PKX Cashless and PKX Compact), signaling a deliberate shift toward contactless, cashless, and compact parking payment infrastructure. No external funding, revenue figures, or headcount data are disclosed; the company is privately held within the CAME corporate group.
