PPA - Experts & Thought Leaders
Latest PPA news & announcements
Developer of the JetFlex gate operators, considered the fastest in the world, PPA has consolidated itself as an important global player in the electronic security sector. The company, which has been present since 2015, is preparing for a new expansion cycle in the American market, with the growth of its product portfolio. Acquisitions In recent years, PPA acquired three companies: the Celtron current movers factory, Citrox, which specialises in access control, electric fence, alarms, and IoT (internet of things), and GCP. Each company today constitutes a PPA product line. “These acquisitions allowed us to complete our product line. The distributor has to have the complete line to offer an installer. Thus, he can go to people's homes and sell everything they need in terms of security,” said PPA president Flavio Peres. Nexus Cube provides high operating speed with precise movements, reducing wear, extending the life of the product Inverter tech reduces consumption PPA's flagship in the US is the Nexus Cube mover, developed specifically for the American market. With inverter technology, it allows reducing energy consumption compared to other products. In addition, the Nexus Cube provides high operating speed with precise movements, reducing wear, extending the life of the product and the structure of the gate. Extending list of products “Demand has grown a lot. Between the first half of this year and the same period last year, there was a 40% growth in our sales in the American market. We are already known for our gate operators. And soon, PPA intends to make available in the US a more extensive list of products, such as the Citrox line”, explained Peres. PPA currently exports to over 30 countries. The US is one of the most promising markets for the company, which is building an extensive network of distributors in the country. PPA's trademarks Since it's founding in 1983, proximity to distributors, installers, and end consumers has been one of PPA's trademarks. Another factor that distinguished PPA in the global electronic security market for its high investment in technological innovations. The company currently has a team of more than 40 mechanical and electronic engineers and invests more than 10% of its payroll in P&D.
Large companies and condominiums with an intense flow of vehicles need to keep strict control of energy bills, by checking if there are sources of waste or excessive spending. To help this public, PPA has developed a new line of gate operators that significantly reduce energy consumption. Responsible for the patented JetFlex technology, which achieved a worldwide reputation for its speed and performance, PPA currently exports its products to more than 30 countries and is a leader in the gate and door operators and automatic barriers market in Latin America. 24V Brushless technology More recently, PPA's laboratories have developed a new line of motors with 24V Brushless technology. The technology is similar to the one used in electric vehicle motors, drones, and other equipment available on the market, proving that it is possible to obtain high performance with compact motors. Since this motor does not use the brush system - present in most gate operators -, brushless gate operators ensure high precision in movement, due to the use of magnets digitally controlled through the control board, in addition to providing low maintenance costs. Battery savings 24V Brushless system allows the operation of operators using low-cost batteries, providing greater savings The 24V Brushless system is available for sliding, overhead, and swing gate operators as well as automatic sliding door operators. The technology allows the operation of operators using low-cost batteries, which, in turn, can be charged with photovoltaic plates, providing greater savings. “PPA has, today, a team of expert engineers dedicated to the development of new technologies that provide our customers with savings, both in energy consumption and in maintenance expenses. By producing more efficient equipment, we seek to make an effective contribution to the environment,” explained PPA CEO Samuel Peres.
