In July 2009 we took over the Polish IT company AVISTA and reinforced our presence in the Polish market to enhance our operations in Eastern Europe.
After three years of activity in Poland we have finally found the ideal partner with comprehensive market experience. AVISTA had already equipped the majority of the Polish transportation companies with booking office system hard- plus software and is securely established in the market for over 30 years. Though their product portfolio was very limited.

The new founded subsidiary will join AVISTA's market experience with Scheidt & Bachmann's know-how as a worldwide approved system supplier and will give us the capability to fit our complete solutions exactly to the demands of the Polish market. Thus makes us a strong and market-orientated partner for fare collections systems in Poland.

Our systems comply all requirements of a modern transport system and signify for a maximum of quality and innovation. Furthermore AVISTA provides a nationwide technical support and therewith guarantees reliable local service and maintenance to our customers.
"The takeover of AVISTA is a milestone for the internationalisation strategy of Scheidt & Bachmann. Since the subsidiary is located in Warsaw we now have the best prerequisites for further expansion in Central and Eastern Europe.", announced Managing Director Matthias Augustyniak.
