Following the acquisition of Australian vehicle enforcement systems supplier, 2140 Aspect Traffic, leading traffic enforcement specialist 53 Gatsometer has announced it is branching out into Australia. Gatso has been a supplier of enforcement systems in Australia for more than two decades with the company providing solutions in automated red light and speed enforcement, environmental zone enforcement and ANPR enforcement systems. The company has developed products for the Australian market such as the Gatso Radar 24 Aus mobile speed camera which it later marketed throughout the world.

Aspect, which has worked with Gatso since 2003, operates throughout Australia, having installed major enforcement projects and systems in all states and territories.

“We have a long history in the Australian market and we are committed to further the company’s substantial growth of the last seven years through this acquisition,” said Timo Gatsonides, Managing Director of Gatso. “The investment in Aspect will bring us even closer to our Australian clients.”

According to Stephen Gateley, Aspect Traffic's managing director: “With the strength of Gatso behind us, we will be able to expand our local presence and attack markets we had previously been unable to address. We are also excited that we can now work even closer with Gatso to tap into its experience, expertise and full range of services and systems.”
