Adel Benmesbah, co-owner and Director of Access Control Systems at NTF, shares a powerful perspective on innovation, resilience, and deep-rooted collaboration. Based in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, NTF is among the country’s leading firms in the field of automated access solutions, offering a wide range of parking systems, barriers, gates, and access control technologies. With more than 18 years of continuous partnership with FAAC and HUB Parking Technology, the company has become a key player across the Algerian territory.
A Long-Term Partnership Anchored in Trust
NTF’s relationship with HUB Parking began in 2007, initially through the broader FAAC portfolio and later with a direct focus on HUB’s smart parking systems. “Our collaboration is constant,” Benmesbah explains, highlighting the team’s daily contact with HUB’s engineers, technical support staff, and commercial representatives. The alliance goes beyond product delivery – it’s built on continuous training, regular knowledge exchange, and a shared drive to innovate.
Pioneering Projects in Critical Sectors
NTF has deployed HUB solutions across a wide range of sectors, including local authorities, shopping centres, and, notably, international airports. Today, every international airport in Algeria is equipped with HUB technology, thanks to NTF’s expertise and execution. Among these, one large-scale project stands out - a complex airport installation with multiple zones and a multi-level car park accommodating around 4,000 vehicles.
Benmesbah underlines the importance of reliability and automation: “The entire system is automatic, using LPR cameras, APS, and computer backup. It’s profitable for our client and convenient for the end user.” With 12 automated payment stations on-site, the solution ensures a smooth and wait-free payment experience, underlining HUB’s commitment to customer satisfaction through technology.
Stability and Scalability Through JMS
At high-traffic locations such as the Sublet Parking site near the coast, equipment faces extreme usage conditions. Regular maintenance is part of the routine, yet system stability remains strong — largely thanks to the Janus Management System (JMS). “It’s one of the most reliable sites we’ve installed,” notes Benmesbah. JMS plays a central role across all NTF deployments, offering robust control, automated reporting, and scalability for future growth.
The Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport in Constantine (CZL) offers a glimpse into what lies ahead. Local staff have embraced JMS to its full potential, prompting discussions about system upgrades and new technology integrations in the coming months.
A Culture of Support and Adaptability
What makes NTF stand out in the Algerian market is its customer-first philosophy. “We’re always there for our clients - whenever they need us,” says Benmesbah. The technical and engineering teams respond swiftly to service requests, providing both agility and reassurance. This culture of responsiveness also reflects NTF’s internal transformation: “We’re modernising how we work, and our teams are evolving as we look to the future.”
NTF’s success story is a testament to its strategic partnership with HUB Parking and FAAC, whose high-quality products form the backbone of its offering, and to the service ethic which truly sets them apart. The company has built a stellar reputation for reliability, as it consistently delivers results while adapting to its clients’ ever-evolving needs. Benmesbah concludes with pride and simplicity: “We’ve made sacrifices to make people are happy with our work. We are simply the best.”
