Be Safe with Benincà

Understand your Compliance Responsibilities as an Electric Gate Installer.

Gate safety is not just about installing certain products but more about the education of gate safety legislation and understanding your requirements as a professional gate installer. As a leading manufacturer and distributor of quality gate automation products we have not taken our role within the industry lightly and are keen to help raise gate safety awareness by directing customers to professional help and advice. 

“In our experience, we are often relied upon by our installing customers to keep them up to date with the current gate safety legislation and industry news. Even if this includes basic friendly advice, this is all part of the service when purchasing through Beninca UK."

This is why we have gone above and beyond the call of duty in making sure all of our sales and customer service team have been through extensive training. We constantly review the latest gate safety legislation, which is all easily accessible via our Gate Safety page.

Gate Safety Products

100% Italian Manufacturing

Beninca Italy has been awarded the Made in Italy certificate, which for our Italian office is a huge commercial advantage as the certificate is recognized by the International community as a tool for winning major contracts.  

This means that unlike many of our competitors, who make the choice to outsource production using cheaper alternatives, Beninca design, manufacture and test all our own products at the headquarters in Northern Italy.

We feel that this process really benefits our customers, as all goods from within the Beninca Group are made in house. With our focus on reliable quality products we offer unrivalled support to our UK customers.

We understand that our customers have a voice, and our manufacturing team can quickly answer any questions or concerns raised. This would not be an option if we chose the easy route of having a faceless corporate company making our goods to sell – our customers are worth better.
