FAAC Technologies Austria

What FAAC Technologies Austria does

FAAC Technologies Austria GmbH is a Perchtoldsdorf-based (Lower Austria) specialist in automated entrance, access-control, and perimeter-security solutions, operating as the legal successor to record Austria GmbH (founded 1994) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Italian FAAC Group. The entity supplies gate operators, automatic sliding and swing doors, vehicle barriers, speed gates, turnstiles, crash-rated and fixed security bollards, and the Keydom access-control system. Underlying technology is built on proprietary FAAC Group IP including the CYCLO planetary gearbox, the SAFEcoder absolute encoder, the BUS 2easy two-wire bus protocol, and the Simply Connect IoT platform for cloud-based monitoring and remote diagnostics of the installed base.

The company serves enterprise and public-sector end-customers across Austria and the wider DACH region, with particular depth in airports, data centers, banking and embassy facilities, hospitals, logistics, retail, and premium hospitality. Named reference projects include Munich Airport, Messe Wien, Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg, Zürcher Kantonalbank, Deutsche Bank Berlin, Four Seasons Geneva, and Universitätsklinik Münster. High-security bollard and barrier products carry PAS 68, IWA 14-1 and ASTM F2656 crash ratings; automatic doors comply with EN 16005; data-center deployments reference ISO 27001 alignment.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-off hardware sales (gates, doors, bollards, turnstiles, barriers), recurring service and maintenance contracts supported by a nationwide network of 30+ certified service technicians achieving a stated 93% same-day resolution rate for morning-reported malfunctions, spare-parts and repair revenue, and modernization/retrofit projects. Go-to-market combines direct specification with architects, planners and BIM workflows, certified installer partners, and integration with the broader FAAC Technologies brand portfolio (FAAC, record, CoMETA, Magnetic, HUB Parking) for multi-product tenders. Managing Directors Robert Ziehaus and Heribert Josef Jelenz lead the Austrian entity.
