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.”

APT Controls’ Veri-park and eVolt divisions will remain unchanged along with its joint venture company, APT SkiData. Swarco UK will remain a sister company to Swarco Traffic.

Veri-park is a parking payment system that integrates automatic number plate recognition cameras with parking payment kiosks and new technology payment and validation solutions.

Meanwhile, eVolt is intended to allow local authorities and private businesses throughout the UK to deliver electric vehicle charging solutions for individual cars and taxis as well as buses and local authority vehicles.
