CIRCONTROL

Circontrol is a Spanish company that designs and manufactures electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions and efficient parking systems. Founded in 1997 by Ramón Comellas, the company initially focused on software development before expanding into access control, parking guidance systems, and fire detection. In 2008, Circontrol entered the electric mobility market by manufacturing its first EV charger, at a time when electric mobility was still a niche concept. Since then, it has grown into one of the main leaders in the European electric mobility market, with a global presence and more than 150,000 charging points installed by 2021. Headquartered in Viladecavalls (Barcelona, Spain), Circontrol is part of the Circutor Group and has a business track record of more than 25 years. The company employs over 250 people, 55% of whom are engineers, and maintains a strong annual investment in research and development. Its product portfolio covers all market segments, from home charging to ultra-fast charging, including fast, semi-fast, and home charging stations, as well as charging solutions for public, fleet, workplace, car park, service station, eBus, hotel, supermarket, and car dealer applications. Circontrol's chargers are designed to comply with AFIR (Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation) requirements. Beyond EV charging, Circontrol offers efficient parking solutions under its CirPark Platform, which integrates LED lighting, parking guidance systems, video surveillance, and EV charging for indoor and outdoor parking facilities. The platform includes the CirPark SCADA software and third-party integration, providing a fully integrated parking experience for hotels, airports, shopping centers, hospitals, companies, universities, cities, and leisure zones. As of 2023, Circontrol continues to operate under the Circutor Group, evolving together under one global brand. The company remains committed to innovation, international expansion, and its family essence, positioning itself as a pioneer in EV charging and efficient parking solutions.

Circontrol was founded in 1997 by Ramón Comellas in Spain. Initially, the company focused on software development. Over time, it expanded its operations to include additional lines of business: access control, guidance systems for parking, and even fire detection. This diversification laid the groundwork for its later specialization in efficient parking and electric mobility. In 2008, Circontrol started its EV charging business and manufactured its first electric vehicle charger.

By 2021, Circontrol had installed over 150,000 charging points and maintained sustained growth over the years with a global presence. The company continued to invest in research and development, with a strong focus on innovation. In 2023, Circontrol reported having more than 250 employees on staff, 55% of whom were engineers, and a strong annual investment in R&D. Headquartered in Viladecavalls (Barcelona, Spain), the company is part of the Circutor Group and has a solid business track record of more than 25 years.
