Hannover/Germany, 23/08/2011. (euro adhoc) - Switzerland is becoming
increasingly important for the business activities of the Hoeft & Wessel Group.
The IT and engineering technology specialist for ticketing, parking and mobile
solutions is one of the leading providers of ticketing systems, car park and
mobile terminals in the country. In the last several years, the share of sales
revenues accounted for by Switzerland increased to more than 10 per cent. This
makes Switzerland the third-largest market for the technology enterprise.
At present, Hoeft & Wessel supplies Almex brand ticket terminals to public
transport utilities in Geneva and is developing a new communications solution
on a GSM-Rail basis for the Swiss Federal Railways SBB. Numerous car park
terminals from the British subsidiary Metric are part of the landscape of
Geneva and other cities. The Swiss Post uses a mobile Skeye brand terminal from
Hoeft & Wessel for delivery.
At the Swiss specialist trade fair for public transport, the suissetraffic in
Bern, Hoeft & Wessel will be displaying the very latest ticketing solutions of
its Almex brand from 6 to 9 September 2011. These also include the new compact
ticket vending machine with the product name almex.midi which, as a special
feature, is also on offer in a solar-powered version.
