FAAC is an Italian automation pioneer founded in 1965, known worldwide for inventing the hydraulic gate operator and building one of the most comprehensive automation portfolios in the security industry — from vehicle barriers and bollards to automatic doors and complete parking systems. STC Security brings this trusted Italian engineering to facilities across Egypt.
Who Is FAAC? The Origin of an Industry
FAAC’s story begins with a simple childhood memory. Founder Giuseppe Manini, as a young boy, noticed his family’s bicycle had been stolen because a courtyard gate had been left open. That moment sparked an idea: an automatic system that would close gates on its own. Using a cylinder, a piston, and a rubber hose connected to a building’s water supply, Manini built the first rudimentary automation system — and in 1965, FAAC (Fabbrica Automatismi Apertura Cancelli) was born.
From that hydraulic mechanism, FAAC evolved into a global reference point in gate automation and access control. Today, the company operates through key brands including FAAC (the historic core brand and the heart of R&D), DAAB (Northern Europe and Scandinavia), Magnetic (German-engineered pedestrian access), Genius, Centurion, and HUB Parking Technology — together forming one of the most complete automation ecosystems on the market.
