With the acquisition of its Italian based parent company, Aprimatic, by the Urmet Group, The Automation Warehouse has changed its name to Global Access Technology (G.A.T.). The news was announced at an event held at Donington racecourse, where the Aprimatic sponsored Ferrari was competing. G.A.T. is now part of a global network of companies specialising in building automation and security products with a turnover of E431 million.

The Urmet Group comprises a number of divisions throughout the world, many of which are at the forefront of research and development for new products in everything from Access Control and Entry Phones through to Environment Control and Security.

The group has ambitious plans to increase sales and turnover through out the world. Its acquisition strategy has been to rationalise the product offering to ensure that the full spectrum of automation in building is covered.

Aprimatic was acquired because of its technological expertise and range of automation products that are suitable for Urmet’s core markets in residential, industrial and commercial buildings. Global Access Technology will continue to offer Aprimatic products, but will now also be able to offer the Golmar entry phone product range to complement them.

The name change from The Automation Warehouse to Global Access Technology reflects the company’s new status within the Urmet Group. Managing Director, Phil Bushnell, commented: ‘This is a very exciting opportunity for us, we are now part of a hugely successful international company with access to a global network of research and development and the technological leaders in their fields. As a result we will be able to offer an unrivalled range of products providing the very latest solutions to access problems.
