From 22 to 25 September 2026, HTC parking & security and TESCON Security will be exhibiting at Security Essen in Germany. At this international security trade fair, we will present a range of solutions for controlled vehicle access and perimeter security – from certified Speedgates and flexible access solutions to crash-tested bollards.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see our solutions up close and talk to our specialists about securing sites with different risk profiles.
Xentry 3TP – high security for critical sites
One of the solutions we will be presenting at Security Essen is the Xentry 3TP High Security. This Speedgate has been developed for sites where high levels of burglary resistance, controlled vehicle access and operational reliability are required.
The Xentry 3TP has been developed in accordance with the European resistance classes SR2 – RC2, RC3, RC4, RC5 – FB6 and is suitable for critical infrastructure, government facilities, defence sites, data centres and other high-security environments.
Depending on the required security level, the construction can include reinforced anchoring, hinge points, guidance systems and secured connections. This allows the Speedgate to be tailored to the specific risk profile of each site.
Xentry On Street – flexible security without a traditional foundation
The Xentry On Street will also be on display at our stand. This solution combines the quality, appearance and functionality of a permanently installed Speedgate with the flexibility of a temporary or semi-permanent installation.
The Xentry On Street does not require a traditional foundation. Cabling and other provisions are integrated above ground, and the fully assembled installation can be positioned using a forklift. This makes the solution particularly suitable for existing sites, renovation projects, temporary security requirements and environments where extensive groundwork is not possible or desirable.
The installation can also be relocated at a later stage, redeployed at another location or incorporated into a permanent security solution.
For sites with higher security requirements, the Xentry On Street is available with an additional pin construction. The Speedgate is designed according to the principles of resistance class RC3, with an increased level of resistance against burglary attempts as a key consideration.
This makes the Xentry On Street a flexible solution for sites where both security requirements and site conditions may change over time.
TESCON crash-tested bollards
In addition to our Speedgates, we will present several TESCON Security solutions designed to protect sites against unauthorised vehicle access.
One of the highlights is the TC-RB 300/1100, an electro-hydraulic retractable high-security bollard designed for sites where maximum protection against vehicle impact is required. The bollard has been tested with a 30-tonne truck travelling at 80 km/h. According to the test results, the system remains operational after impact.
The TC-RB 300 is intended for applications including government buildings, military sites, embassies, airports, energy facilities, industrial sites and other critical infrastructure.
At Security Essen, we will also show the video of the bollard crash test, giving visitors a close-up view of the forces this type of vehicle security solution must withstand in the event of an impact.
TESCON Anti-Terror Telescopic Bollard
The TESCON Anti-Terror Telescopic Bollard will also be part of our presentation. This electro-hydraulic retractable telescopic bollard has been developed for situations where a high level of vehicle security is required but the available installation depth is limited.
The telescopic design enables a blocking height of 1,000 mm with a foundation depth of just 950 mm. The bollard has been tested as a single unit in accordance with PAS 68 using a 7.5-tonne truck travelling at 48 km/h.
This makes the solution particularly suitable for urban areas, sites with underground cables and utilities, car parks, airports, military sites and critical infrastructure.

HTC parking & security will be present at Intertraffic 2026, the leading international trade fair for infrastructure, traffic safety and smart mobility. From 10 March 2026 to 13 March 2026, we will present our latest innovations in vehicle entrance solutions and sustainable security.
Tescon Security GmbH strengthens HTC Group
Tescon Security GmbH strengthens the HTC Group. Tescon has been known for years for the production of high-quality security solutions such as bollards, roadblockers, barriers and sliding gates that are resistant to vehicle attacks. All these products are tested and certified by official European testing institutes. During Intertraffic, Marie Pierre Maussang, Sales Manager of Tescon, will be present at our stand. Come by and discover how Tescon, as part of the HTC Group, takes security projects to the next level.
The first Speedgate with MKI score in the National Environmental Database
HTC parking & security is the first in the world to map the complete lifecycle of its Speedgates through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). The associated EPDs have been published on the international MRPI website, and the MKI scores are officially registered in the National Environmental Database. Three models have been certified: the Xentry 2, Xentry 3 and Xentry STS.
Xentry 3: innovation at the highest level
The Xentry 3 Speedgate combines high security with speed and ease of use. Ideal for commercial parking, prisons, high-security locations, courthouses, truck parks, healthcare facilities and ambulance entrances. We will provide a live demonstration at the trade fair.
Available in various resistance classes: from SR2/RC2 (opportunistic burglars) to RC5 (heavy power tools) and bullet-resistant FB4 (.357/.44 Magnum) to FB6 (5.56/7.62 mm rifle). This way, the Xentry 3 always offers the right balance between accessibility and maximum safety.
Refurbished Speedgate: high-quality security meets circularity
HTC will showcase a refurbished Speedgate (Xentry 2TP) at the Intertraffic trade fair. This demonstrates that high-quality security and circularity go hand in hand. Each motor is completely disassembled, cleaned and fitted with new parts where necessary.
HTC has established processes with suppliers for refurbishing motors, galvanized/coated components of construction and drive systems, and stainless steel parts. The result? A Speedgate that is ready for years of reliable use with full warranty.
Xentry Control: the control system that thinks along with your challenge
With thousands of successful projects behind us, we know exactly how to help you. The result? Xentry Control. The new generation control system that is not only smart and stable, but also truly understands what you encounter daily. That’s why we have chosen complete standardization. One control system for all applications. No more variations. No surprises during replacement or expansion. The advantages: high uptime, 24/7 online monitoring, long lifespan (8 to 10 years), fast assembly and low Total Cost of Ownership.
SmartLED Display: more than a traffic light
The SmartLED Display is the most innovative traffic light on the market! The difference between a standard entrance and a smart entry starts with the SmartLED Display. Intelligent communication transforms every entrance into a professional and welcoming reception moment. The display does more than just give instructions. Messages are displayed dynamically and receive more context, making them much more noticeable and better understood. Through seamless integration with our Speedgates, safe and efficient flow is guaranteed. The SmartLED Display functions as a dynamic traffic light and as a communication tool that strengthens your organization’s identity. This way, you turn every entrance into your personal business card.

WADDINXVEEN, July 23, 2025 – HTC Group B.V., European market leader in Speedgates, announces the acquisition of all activities of TESCON Sicherheitssysteme AG, the leading German manufacturer of high security bollards, roadblockers and anti-terror security solutions. This strategic acquisition strengthens HTC’s position in the growing market for critical infrastructure security.
TESCON Sicherheitssysteme AG has grown over more than 20 years into a respected specialist in security solutions. The German company delivers certified systems against vehicle attacks with trucks up to 30 tons at 80 km/h, for critical infrastructure, airports, government institutions and temporary security applications.
Peter Thun, CEO of HTC Group B.V., explains: “With the acquisition of TESCON, we strengthen our position in the high security market. TESCON has decades of experience in anti-terror security and crash-tested bollards. The expertise perfectly aligns with our mission to make vehicle entrances safer. The combination of bollards, roadblockers and Speedgates ensures that a vehicle entrance is completely burglar-proof and protected against vehicle attacks. The activities will be housed in the new company, TESCON Security GmbH.”
Market leadership in Europe
With this acquisition, HTC Group B.V. strengthens its position as European market leader in vehicle access systems. TESCON’s strong presence in Europe, Middle East and other international markets complements HTC’s Dutch base and growing European network.
TESCON will continue to operate under its own brand name and retain its production facility in Salzgitter. TESCON’s management team will continue daily operations, while both companies collaborate on product integration and market expansion.
Robert-Jan Karsman, co-owner of HTC Group B.V., adds: “The market demands total solutions, not separate components. Customers want one point of contact for their complete perimeter security – from engineering to service. Thanks to this acquisition, we can deliver on that promise even better. This is not only a strengthening of our offering, but also of our promise to the customer: simplicity, reliability and maximum security.”
