What Politec Group | Protezioni perimetrali does

Politec Group (legal entity: POLITEC ERNES SRL) is an Italian designer and manufacturer of perimeter intrusion detection systems headquartered in Bellusco (Monza-Brianza). Founded in 2003 and operating for over 20 years, the company develops, assembles, and tests its hardware in-house, controlling every phase from R&D through final testing. Its portfolio spans eight product families — ADEBUS central monitoring, ALES and SANDOR long-range infrared barriers, MANA dual- and triple-technology barriers, NAT and SANDOR wireless outdoor sensors, GAPID anti-climb vibration sensors, SADRIN miniaturized door/window units, and PARVIS aesthetically-integrated barriers including a European-patented lighting-column variant. Technologies include active and passive infrared, microwave, dual-technology AND-logic verification, triple-technology configurations, and SMA (Single Man Alignment) optical single-operator alignment, offered across wired, wireless, hybrid (wired power with wireless signal), and solar-powered variants.

The company sells exclusively through authorized distributors and certified professional installers, supported by structured training, on-site technical assistance, specification drafting, and a sales-support bridge to the channel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial terms are structured as multi-year contracts. End customers are categorized across residential (villas, gardens, terraces, doors, windows), industrial and commercial (warehouses, industrial zones, logistics centres, oil & gas, extraction sites), and critical infrastructure (airports, military bases, refineries, photovoltaic fields, prisons, ports). The website is published in Italian, English, French, and Spanish, supporting an explicit international go-to-market alongside the domestic Italian base.

Politec is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or funding rounds identified. Headcount is disclosed at 11 employees, though the company is recruiting across commercial, technical-assistance, production, and administrative roles. Revenue and ARR are not publicly disclosed. The firm distinguishes itself through the Made in Italy brand, a single European patent on the PARVIS MES SMA lighting-integrated column, and three claimed technical unique-sellers: SMA single-operator alignment, 24/7 always-active microwave on passive sensors, and self-learning vibration-discrimination on the GAPID line. Certifications and awards are not disclosed in the available record.

Core offering

Politec Group designs, develops, and manufactures a comprehensive range of perimeter intrusion detection sensors and barriers — including active infrared beam barriers, microwave barriers, dual/triple-technology barriers, passive outdoor sensors, and anti-climb/anti-break-in vibration sensors. Products span wired, wireless, hybrid, and solar-powered variants across eight product families (ADEBUS, ALES, GAPID, MANA, NAT, PARVIS, SADRIN, SANDOR) for residential, industrial, and critical-infrastructure applications.

Product overview

Politec Group specializes in perimeter intrusion detection systems, offering a comprehensive portfolio of sensors and barriers organized into eight main product families: ADEBUS (central monitoring systems), ALES (infrared beam barriers 60-250m), GAPID (anti-break/anti-climb vibration sensors), MANA (multi-technology barriers for large sites), NAT (passive outdoor sensors), PARVIS (integrated barriers for lighting poles), SADRIN (miniaturized door/window barriers), and SANDOR (large perimeter and glass surface barriers). The product line spans wired, wireless, hybrid (wired power/wireless signal), and solar-powered variants, all utilizing core technologies including SMA (Single Man Alignment), dual-technology (infrared + microwave), and triple-technology configurations. Products serve applications from residential (doors, windows, gardens) to industrial and sensitive infrastructure (airports, military bases, photovoltaic fields) with coverage ranging from 10m to 250m per barrier unit.
