Our
Company :
Powergates® is a pioneering company in the area of gate automation
systems and is Pakistan’s leading company in this field. We offer
a range of systems and solutions to automate almost any type of
gate. We have established an international contract manufacturing
and strategic sourcing network as well as our own research and development
facility at our head office in Karachi, Pakistan. Our company started
its launch from Karachi in June 2002. After successful technical
testing and market response, we gradually extended a national rollout
starting with Lahore & Islamabad in 2003 and Faisalabad and Multan
in 2004. We plan to expand operations to other cities in the years
to come. Powergates plans to convert its first mover advantage to
dominant player status in this market.

Need
for Access Automation :
Entrances, gates, doorways and locks fulfill a genuine need for
security and privacy. However, they are also an obstruction to free
flow of traffic and a hindrance to movement in general.
Millions of man-hours are wasted each day and unimaginable inconvenience
is created by the need to repeatedly open and close entrance systems
manually in homes, commercial enterprises and factories.
It leads to inefficient deployment of labor, wasteful use of productive
time and a general reluctance to movement.

Manufacturing
and Fabrication :
Powergates products are contract manufactured in plants in Malaysia,
Italy and Taiwan. We also undertake design, fabrication and modification
of gates and entrances as per customer’s requirements.
