What Amakin does

Amakin — legal name Bahrain Car Parks Company B.S.C. — is a Bahraini public shareholding company founded in 1981 and listed on the Bahrain Bourse under the ticker CPARK. It is the country's first specialized parking management entity and operates Bahrain's first multi-story car park building. The company runs three integrated service lines: car park management (five locations across Bahrain with approximately 2,490 parking spaces), property leasing (two strategically located commercial assets — the Multi-Story Building opposite Bab Al Bahrain and the Terminal Building in Adliya Block 338), and parking management systems & solutions delivered through an exclusive national agency for Germany's Scheidt & Bachmann, the global leader in smart parking and fare collection technology.

The business model combines fee-based managed services (parking operations), recurring property lease income, and professional services revenue from system installation and maintenance under the Scheidt & Bachmann agency. Customer access is delivered through direct parking operations and two self-serve digital portals (Membership Portal and Tickets Portal). Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B/B2G in nature, targeting property owners, businesses, and government entities, with secondary demand from general urban consumers using parking facilities.

Ownership is anchored by Bahrain Real Estate Investment Company (Edamah) at 36.26% and the General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) at 33.57%, with Mrs. Hessa Mubarak Abdulaziz Al-Hasawi holding 13.6%. Amin Ahmed Alarrayed, who also serves as CEO of Edamah, is Chairman of the Board. The company is headquartered at 128 Government Avenue, Manama, Bahrain, with 11–50 employees and a digital presence across website, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
