technology areas like sensors, detectors and camera technology (LPR/ANPR) to be
able to offer the type of information required to build what today is called
smart cities.

”We are now taking our first step to realize the acquisition part of our
strategy with an ambition to increase our turnover and our profit in a faster
pace. We are looking forward to be able to offer our customers broader solutions
through integration of our different technologies (RFID and ALPR) to make a more
attractive offering. TagMaster and CitySync are very complimentary and they
share the common basic values required to build a solid growth within Traffic
Solutions. We expect synergies among others in sales where our combined sales
force will be able to get better market coverage with a bigger portfolio of
products and which will also in the future offer more solutions. We are pleased
to be able to create the future innovations within Traffic Solutions together
with our new colleagues at City Sync” says Jonas Svensson, TagMaster’s CEO.

The City Sync business is transferred by July 10 and it is expected to
