Dr James Routh, Chief Executive Officer, said:
The Acquisition of Vadotech Group supports the Group's strategic initiatives by broadening the scope of the Group's product and services offering, further expanding our reach into new strategically important territories and increasing the range of testing services, which in turn increases visibility of future revenue.
"Vadotech Group has an outstanding reputation for providing excellence in full vehicle testing services to its German OEM customer base and we look forward to expanding this further, both within existing territories and into new attractive markets.
"We expect the Acquisition, together with the establishment of the Asia Pacific divisional operating hub, to provide us with an excellent platform for further growth and we are pleased to welcome the Vadotech Group team to AB Dynamics."
