Those roots are still evident today, as many of our classic products such as Alvarado post & rail, four-arm turnstiles, cart bumpers and other products are still the preferred choice among major retailers. During the mid-1970’s, while continuing to develop products for pedestrian queuing and patron flow control, Alvarado began manufacturing an innovative line of security turnstiles and gates. Designed for easy integration with access control systems, our rugged waist high and full height turnstiles quickly set new standards for quality construction, superior styling and rock-solid reliability. In the early 1990’s, Alvarado developed a groundbreaking line of hardware and software solutions for entertainment venues. Beginning with our first installation major stadium installation in 1993, our ticket scanning turnstiles and GateLink admission control software effectively ushered in the era of barcode ticket scanning at major league sports facilities. Today, Alvarado continues to innovate. Our ticket scanning turnstile line includes integrated TFT displays, real-time wireless communication, and will-call ticket printing integrated into the turnstile. We also offer state-of-the-art handheld wireless ticket scanning, making computerized ticket validation a reality for even more venues, large and small. Alvarado has also recently made one of the largest commitments to R&D in our company’s history, resulting in our all new Supervisor 3000 barrier arm, Supervisor 3500 barrier wing and Supervisor 2000 barrier-free optical access control turnstiles. These “security turnstiles of the future” can be remotely controlled and monitored via PC-based software. They are already being installed at numerous facilities in the U.S. and Canada, and are quickly becoming our most popular product line. MAJOR INSTALLATIONS For our pedestrian queuing and asset protection products, Alvarado counts among our valued customers most of the major grocery and retail chains in the U.S. A partial list includes Kroger, SuperValu, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. Alvarado security turnstiles are used at tens of thousands of locations in the U.S. and abroad. Now, more than ever, highly regarded companies such as General Electric, Boeing, Chevron, FedEx, Coca-Cola, Hewlett Packard, Proctor & Gamble, Merck and many others rely on Alvarado turnstiles for entrance security at thousands of facilities around the country. Alvarado security turnstiles are also installed at virtually every type of government facility, including military installations, research laboratories, federal reserve banks, embassies, and a host of other federal, state, county and municipal facilities. A brief list of our government clients includes the U.S. Department of Defense, Sandia National Laboratories, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the FBI, DEA and NASA. In addition to security applications, Alvarado has also provided state-of-the-art admission control solutions for numerous leisure and entertainment venues.
