Entrotec

What Entrotec does

CAME Entrotec is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of door entry and access control systems, founded in 1987 and operating as a division of Italian access-automation group CAME S.p.A. The company addresses the social housing, private residential, commercial, and educational markets with a hardware-led product set spanning vandal-resistant audio and video entry panels (notably the APEX range), web-based key and credential management software (SimpleKey Web), centralized concierge and access control platforms (Easitag), and proximity-based access control systems. Systems are described as pre-built and pre-programmed for plug-and-play deployment, supporting both standalone and networked multi-dwelling configurations.

The business monetizes primarily through hardware unit sales to an approved installer channel, complemented by professional services covering the full tender-to-aftercare lifecycle. The company engages property developers, specifiers, and social housing providers directly on large-scale schemes, while day-to-day distribution flows through certified installer partners. Entrotec holds Secured by Design accreditation, positioning it within the UK police-preferred security product framework, and has been deployed at scale on developments including Royal Wharf (3,385 dwellings). The company describes itself as the UK's longest-established manufacturer in its niche, with 35+ years of operational history.

Operationally, the firm is UK-focused with no disclosed international expansion, runs a small headcount (11–50 employees), and offers no public API/SDK or platform extensibility layer. Revenue is concentrated in hardware pull-through, with limited recurring software monetization visible in the disclosed material.
