About Ojmar
We have been working for people for over 90 years. That is why we know how important an individualised solution, adapted to the special needs of each project and customer is.
Our philosophy is not limited to launching a product onto the market. We go further and provide the best solution for the different problems that arise in the facilities with locking systems and in the management of them.
We are very aware that, in some sports facilities, the changing room is a key element. Where personal belongings are kept is intimate. Our mission is to offer perfect locks and locking systems adaptable to any type of need and furniture.
We work every day to improve our products and services. An approach that promotes creativity and gives Ojmar a competitive edge to offer our customers added value.
It is important that the clubs understand that locking systems are not only used to allow users to save their belongings.
In Ojmar we go much further, offering solutions that are integrated with access control, fitness equipment (Technogym, among others), payment systems, etc. Because a well-implemented technology facilitates management, increases security, controls user traffic, and saves time and consumables.
A good system manages to adapt to the reality of a facility and evolves according to the needs that arise, to be more efficient each day. The data it provides us with gives us a better understanding of the club and contributes to good planning of future centres.
The objectives are multiple: promoting fluid traffic, monitoring traceability, comfort… In short, the aim is to generate a positive experience in management and daily use, making the customer loyal.

This move marked the start of a new management era with the design and introduction of the Ojmar 2000 Strategic Plan and with the EFQM Model as the reference for Total Quality Management.
