TWO Swedish company acquisitions strengthen ABAX’s position in Europe’s telematics sector as the UK arm of the vehicle technology business expands in its new base at Petersborough’s ABAX Stadium.
 The parent company has purchased Accessor Sverige AB and Ctrack Sweden AB to take the number of business acquisitions in Europe since 2014 to seven. The acquisitions not only increase ABAX’s presence in Sweden but strengthen ABAX’s position in the European market. ABAX has also reported a 50% growth rate for 2015, continuing the trend since it formed in 2009.
The acquisitions strengthen ABAX by adding around 10,000 vehicles to ABAX’s existing subscription base, taking the total to more than 150,000. These vehicles are using ABAX’s technology that includes Triplog, fleet management system software, mileage capture technology and equipment monitoring devices.
ABAX has relocated its UK office to the new business centre situated inside the ABAX Stadium – home of Peterborough United Football Club.
The move to the Allia Future Business Centre from the company’s previous office in Warmington, follows news of ABAX’s growth plans for the UK.
