Who we are
An independent British manufacturer for more than 25 years
Nortech is an independent British control system company that designs, manufactures and distributes card access control systems, door entry systems and vehicle control solutions.
Based in South Wales, we are one of the leading access control system manufacturers and suppliers in the UK and overseas. We manufacture our own access control and parking products and are Nedap’s certified UK partner for long-range vehicle identification and ANPR, so whether you need vehicle access or door entry for people, we have it covered.
We work closely with our installation and distribution partners to provide complete solutions that meet their customers’ needs. The company’s success has been built on those long working relationships across the security industry.
Solutions for people
Access control for buildings, visitors and members
Choose an application to see how our controllers and readers are used, then follow the link for the full solution.
Turnstiles and speed gates linked to the membership software, so members are checked in at the gate and lapsed memberships are stopped automatically. Used in gyms, leisure centres and clubs.
Go to membership access control ›Temporary cards for visitors and contractors, with card-capture readers that collect the card on the way out so it cannot be reused.
Go to visitor access control ›Two or more doors interlocked so that only one can be open at a time, for clean rooms, cash handling areas and secure lobbies.
Go to door interlock ›A reader in the lift car or lift lobby that limits which floors each cardholder can call.

Solutions for vehicles
Access control for barriers, gates and car parks
From a single barrier to a multi-storey car park with live space counts. Choose an application to see how it works.
ANPR cameras read the plate as a vehicle approaches and open the barrier for authorised vehicles, with no tag or card needed.
Go to automatic number plate recognition ›Bay sensors and counting systems feed live space counts to signs and guidance lights, so drivers go straight to a free space.
Go to parking space management ›ANPR entry combined with occupancy counting, so the barrier stops admitting vehicles when the car park is full.
Go to vehicle access with counting using anpr ›We have designed and manufactured access control in South Wales for more than 25 years, and have distributed and supported Nedap vehicle identification since 2015. Nortech is ISO 9001 certified, a member of the British Security Industry Association and an Investors in People employer, and our readers and controllers are built on technology from HID, LEGIC, Nedap and ASSA ABLOY.

For installers Training and support
Technical training and support
Our support engineers are based at the factory in South Wales, and they are the same people who design and test our own products and commission the Nedap range we distribute. Installers get free product training, technical support before and after an installation, and on-site commissioning for new systems and upgrades.
Datasheets, manuals and software for every product are in the downloads library, and partners can log in for pricing and project support.
