What cominfo does

COMINFO, a.s. is a privately held Czech joint-stock company headquartered in Zlín that designs and manufactures physical access control systems. Its product portfolio comprises three interconnected pillars: turnstile systems (swing-arm, sliding-arm, tripod, full-height, rotary, and automatic gates) marketed under the EasyGate (Compact, Elite, IM, SPT, SPA), BAR, and REXON sub-brands; integrated identification modules covering attendance, access control, visitor management, and canteen/meal ordering supported by contactless card and QR readers; and payment-enabled entry solutions including the Pay2Go self-service system and ticketing terminals. All turnstile products can be specified through a dedicated custom design service covering surface finishes, corporate branding, and lighting in company colors. Underlying architecture relies on sensor-based passage detection, biometric authentication in select deployments, and a unified contactless card or chip credential across hardware and software modules.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of turnstiles and gates, complemented by integrated software modules (attendance, access, visitor, canteen), transaction-fee economics from payment systems such as Pay2Go, and ongoing service and maintenance revenue through a certified service partner network. Enterprise customers — including Frankfurt's Messeturm, Jakarta train stations, 100 Mount Street Sydney, and an Italian fast-food chain — span commercial real estate, transportation infrastructure, retail, leisure facilities, and public amenities. Distribution combines direct sales in the Czech domestic market with a global network of regional distributors and dedicated local entities covering Germany, the UK, Ireland, Poland, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, the Middle East (Qatar/UAE), and the USA. Pricing is quote-based, tailored to turnstile type, customization scope, and integration requirements, with multi-year contract cadence implied for enterprise deployments.

The company is actively operating with no parent company, venture capital backing, or stock exchange listing disclosed, and no public revenue or headcount figures are available. Strategic activity in 2024 has centered on portfolio expansion with the launches of EasyGate Compact, NexGate, and Pay2Go and an improved EasyGate Elite, alongside continued investment in the international distributor and certified service partner network.
