CAMANO

What CAMANO does

CAMANO S.R.L. is an Italian manufacturer of certified passive physical-security products, founded in 1971 in Bibbiena (province of Arezzo), Tuscany. It designs and produces steel armored security cabinets, safes, bulletproof and vandal-resistant display cases, CCTV equipment cabinets, armored security doors, weapon storage systems, and modular compartment lockers, with manufacturing conducted across two facilities covering 10,000 m² using in-house production from raw material selection through to finished goods. Its product range is organized into branded collections — Molly (modular EN 14450 S1 cabinets), Erika and Katy (retail safes, EN 14450 S1/S2), and Lilly (wall-mounted safes) — together with bespoke engineered-to-order solutions for security rooms, vault doors, and custom enclosures.

Products are certified to European standards EN 14450 (S1 and S2 classes), EN 1143-1 (Grade II), and EN 1300 (locking mechanisms), with certifications issued via ECB-S. This certification framework, which insurance providers require for coverage of high-value goods, is central to the company's value proposition for jewelry, luxury retail, supermarket cash-management, and government customers.

CAMANO sells through a nationwide network of multi-brand authorized resellers in Italy, supported by trained technician partners providing installation, transport-to-floor, and after-sales support. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices; deal sizes span individual residential buyers through to enterprise contracts with named customers such as Calzedonia, Richemont, Kiko, Ins, Gilbarco, and PAM. The company also offers custom-made solutions for specialized installations including museums, armouries, armed forces, hotels, and public-sector facilities. CAMANO is privately held, with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.

• Burg-Wächter KG: German family-owned manufacturer of safes, gun cabinets, post-box systems, and locking devices for retail, residential, and small-business buyers — broader assortment than CAMANO but overlapping certified-safes and lock categories.
• Chubbsafes (Gunnebo): Global safe and vault brand owned by Swedish-listed Gunnebo, offering EN-certified safes, gun cabinets, and secure storage across commercial and residential segments — a global incumbent competing for the same retail and institutional buyers.
