Kapsch TrafficCom agrees to sell Spanish public transport business unit to Kontron

Vienna, August 29, 2022 – The public transport business unit, bundled in the group company "Arce Mobility Solutions", is to be sold to the technology company Kontron.

The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals. The agreed purchase price is in line with management expectations.

The area of public transport is not part of the strategic core business of Kapsch TrafficCom, therefore the company has decided to sell this business unit.

Kapsch TrafficCom acquired the transportation division of Schneider Electric in 2016. This included, among other things, activities in the area of public transport (in particular ticket vending machines and access control) in Spain. In fiscal year 2021/22, this division generated sales of around EUR 11.2 million and employed more than 115 people.

For Kontron, the transaction represents a welcome opportunity to further expand the existing business of Kontron Transportation Group in the public transport segment. "Arce Mobility Solutions" will bring a complementary extension of Kontron's product portfolio, engineering capabilities and will also strengthen the Group's presence in the Iberian market, which is already covered by the rail segment.

 

Kapsch TrafficCom is a globally renowned provider of transportation solutions for sustainable mobility with successful projects in more than 50 countries. Innovative solutions in the application fields of tolling, tolling services, traffic management and demand management contribute to a healthy world without congestion.
