"We believe this strategic acquisition will greatly enhance our ability to offer innovative, comprehensive and adaptive traffic management solutions," said Markus Schlitt, CEO of Siemens Mobility Intelligent Traffic Systems.

In addition to manufacturing SCATS®-compliant traffic signal controllers for the world market, ATC provides a variety of services such as traffic signal design, traffic engineering, traffic management consulting as well as training.

If the acquisition is approved by the authorities, ATC will be managed as a legally independent company under the roof of the Intelligent Traffic Systems business unit within Siemens Mobility.
