Amicos

What Amicos does

Amicos (SC AMICOS SRL) is a Romanian privately-held security systems integrator founded in 1993 and headquartered in Mediaș, Sibiu County. The company designs, installs, and maintains intrusion and alarm systems, video surveillance (CCTV), access control, fire detection and alarm systems, gate automation, IT equipment, car alarms, and electrical installations. It also provides physical-security risk analysis and post-installation maintenance services. Its activities are gated by authorizations from IGPR (Romanian General Inspectorate of Police) for intrusion-alarm work and from IGSU (General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations) for fire-detection work, which are mandatory licences in Romania's regulated security and fire-safety segments.

The company operates a sales-led, quote-based go-to-market model, delivering project-based deployments to a mix of enterprise, institutional, and smaller commercial customers. Publicly referenced clients include Romanian state-owned energy majors Romgaz and Transgaz, the Mediaș municipal hospital, schools, the Apotheka retail pharmacy network, and the electrical contractor Romanelec — indicating a footprint spanning energy, healthcare, education, retail, and electrical services. More recent offerings incorporate AI-enabled video analytics (people/vehicle detection, license plate recognition) and facial-recognition-based smart access control, though these appear to be third-party OEM features integrated into the systems rather than proprietary AI development.

Amicos has remained privately held for 30+ years with no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes. The business is concentrated in the Romanian domestic market with no evidence of geographic expansion, and no financial metrics (revenue, headcount, project volume) are publicly disclosed. Its economic model is classic systems integration: hardware procurement, installation labour, custom configuration, and recurring maintenance contracts, with revenue tied to project wins and multi-year service renewals.
