Adel Benmesbah, co-owner and Access Control System Director at NTF, shares a powerful perspective on innovation, resilience, and deep-rooted collaboration. Based in Algiers, the capital of Algeria, NTF is one of the country’s leading companies in the field of automatic entrances, offering a wide range of parking systems, barriers, gates, and access control technologies. With over 18 years of continuous partnership with FAAC and HUB Parking Technology, the company has grown into 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 by focusing directly on HUB's smart parking systems. "Our collaboration is constant," Benmesbah explains, pointing out how their team is in daily contact with HUB’s engineers, technical support, and commercial representatives. The alliance goes beyond product delivery - it’s built on continuous training, frequent 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 municipalities, shopping malls, 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 multi-level parking, accommodating around 4,000 vehicles.
Benmesbah highlights the importance of reliability and automation: “The entire system is automatic, using LPRcameras, APS, and a computer backup. It’s profitable for our client and convenient for the end user.” With 12 automated pay stationson-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 like the Sublet Parking 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 InternationalAirport in Constantine (CZL) offers a glimpse into what’s next. The local staff has 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 in touch with our clients - whenever they need us,” says Benmesbah. The technical and engineering teams respond quickly to service requests, providing both agility and reassurance. This culture of responsiveness also reflects NTF’s internal transformation: “We’re modernizing 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 offerings, and to the service ethic which truly sets them apart. The company has built a sterling 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 happy with our work. We are simply the best.”
