Hörmann
vs
Came
Two opposite industrial logics. Hörmann, a German family group, sells a complete door with integrated operator and BiSecur ecosystem. Came, an Italian group from Dosson di Casier, specialises in automation for gates, barriers and doors - its VER, VER PLUS and V6000 ranges motorise existing garage doors. This comparison analyses the real differences in range, connectivity and aftersales in Luxembourg.
Hörmann
Complete door + integrated motor
Came
Italian automation specialist
Both brands in numbers
Hörmann and Came play in two different categories. Hörmann is a manufacturer of complete doors (panel + hardware + operator) designed as an integrated system. Came is an automation specialist historically strong on sliding and swing gates, which offers operators for existing garage doors through its VER, VER PLUS and V6000 ranges.

8 brand criteria
Each criterion is evaluated on the 2026 official catalogues, published warranty terms, and our Luxembourg feedback. Fermelux is an authorised Hörmann installer and does not install Came - the analysis stays factual.
| Criterion | Hörmann | Came | Advantage |
Residential range breadth | Complete door: 4 families (RenoMatic, LPU 42, LPU 67, Berry N80), approx. 200 RAL colours and up to 7 surfaces (LPU 42). Coherent closed ecosystem. | Operators only: VER, VER PLUS and V6000 ranges for garage doors. No own panel. | Hörmann |
Maximum thermal insulation | LPU 67 Thermo: 67 mm double-skin panel with thermal break (panel U 0.31 W/m²K), U = 1.0 W/m²K for the installed door and 0.91 W/m²K with the optional ThermoFrame. | Came does not make any panel - insulation depends on the associated third-party door (Hörmann, Wisniowski, unbranded). | Hörmann |
Anti-intrusion security | LPU doors compliant with EN 13241, operators compliant with EN 12453, mechanical anti-lift protection in the operator rail. CR2 (RC2) burglar-resistant equipment optional on the LPU 42, standard on the LPU 67 Thermo. | Built-in obstacle detection on VER operators. Burglar resistance depends on the third-party door used. | Hörmann |
Motor & connectivity | BiSecur 868 MHz radio with 128-bit encryption, bidirectional (status query with the HS 5 BS), SupraMatic E4 / P4 with built-in Bluetooth (BlueSecur app), homee compatible; Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home via the optional Hörmann WLAN gateway. | VER operators with CAME Connect, app via a separate connection module (RGSM001S), Google Home / Alexa integration possible. | Tie |
Manufacturer warranty | 10 years on the door, 5 years on the operator, under Hörmann's published warranty terms. | 24-month legal warranty on operators; a 5-year warranty may be offered by the installer. | Hörmann |
Luxembourg installer network | Network of authorised Hörmann garage door installers, including Fermelux. Coverage of the South, North and Luxembourg City. | Authorised Came installers in Luxembourg mostly focused on gates and access control; few specialise in garage doors. | Hörmann |
Motor-only price guide | On quotation. SupraMatic E4 and SupraMatic HT (reinforced): premium market positioning. | On quotation. Ver 06 / Ver 10: generally more affordable than a SupraMatic for the motor alone. | Tie |
Innovation & R&D | In-house development of panels, SupraMatic / ProMatic series 4 operators and the 128-bit encrypted BiSecur radio (process certified by Ruhr-Universität Bochum). Development centre in Steinhagen. | Strong R&D in residential and collective access control (barriers, retractable bollards) and in the VER, VER PLUS and V6000 operator ranges. | Tie |

Pros & cons
Each brand's real strengths and weaknesses, backed by over 20 years of know-how in Luxembourg. Each brand shines in its own area - the best depends on your overall project (new door or motor only).
Hörmann
- Integrated door + motor system designed as one
- Hörmann warranty: 10 years on the door, 5 years on the operator
- BiSecur / homee smart home ecosystem designed for the garage door
- Network of authorised installers in Luxembourg, aftersales by the installer
- Original spare parts available through the Hörmann network
- Complete range, from the entry-level RenoMatic to the LPU 67 Thermo
- Generally more expensive than Came on the motor alone
- Closed ecosystem: SupraMatic motor designed primarily for Hörmann door
- Door catalogue sometimes overwhelming for end customers (up to 7 surfaces, approx. 200 RAL)
Came
- Automation specialist strong on gates, barriers and access control
- VER motors generally cheaper than SupraMatic
- CAME Connect ecosystem (RGSM001S) unifies gate + garage door in one app
- Reliable integrated encoder obstacle detection on the Ver range
- Recognised Italian group, long-standing automation specialist
- Does not make any panel: depends on third-party door quality
- Luxembourg network gate-oriented - few installers active on garage doors
- 24-month legal warranty; 5 years only if offered by the installer (versus a 5-year manufacturer warranty on Hörmann operators)
- Smart home connectivity via a separate module (RGSM001S)
Which by project?
Depending on your situation, the recommendation changes radically. Here are the 6 profiles we most often encounter in Luxembourg - Hörmann and Came do not win on the same grounds.
You are buying a new door and want a complete, warranted, integrated system. Hörmann remains the rational choice for range, warranty and garage-door aftersales.
Your garage door works but is not motorised. Came Ver 06 or Ver 10 fits most third-party sectional doors, cheaper than the Hörmann SupraMatic.
You already have a motorised Came sliding gate. Staying on Came for the garage door allows a single app (CAME Connect) for gate + door, without doubling modules.
You are buying for 20 or 25 years and expect aftersales and spare parts. Hörmann gives 10 years on the door and 5 years on the operator, with a network specialised in garage doors. Neither Hörmann nor Came publishes a figure for parts availability: ask your installer.
You want a reliable Italian operator at a controlled price without BiSecur or Apple Home requirements. Came Ver 06, on quotation, is generally the more affordable option.
You want the best insulation and a wood-effect finish. Came does not make panels - at Hörmann, the LPU 67 Thermo (U = 1.0 W/m²K installed door, 0.91 with optional ThermoFrame, Decograin finishes) meets this need.
Our recommendation:
Hörmann on door, Came on motor-only
Across 8 criteria, Hörmann wins 5, Came none, and 3 are tied, including price (quoted on request for both). It makes sense: we are comparing a complete door manufacturer with an automation specialist. For a new garage door project in Luxembourg, Hörmann wins on range, insulation, security, warranty and garage door network. The rational default choice remains the Hörmann door motorised with SupraMatic.
Came keeps a real advantage in one specific case: motorising an existing door or a new third-party door on a tight budget. The VER ranges are generally cheaper than SupraMatic at equivalent spec, and integrate naturally into a Came ecosystem if a gate already exists. For this precise scenario, Came remains relevant in Luxembourg.
