988 APT Controls will rebrand as 129 Swarco UK from 1 June. Swarco acquired APT in 2014.


Sean Dunstan, head of the company’s parking and e-mobility division, says: “By centralising group services such as finance, IT and HR and consolidating investments in research and development and health and safety, we can ultimately offer a better service to our customers.”
