HUB Parking Technology and Electro Automation Group Strengthen UK Operations

HUB Parking Technology and Electro Automation Group today announced the next phase of their long-standing relationship, strengthening their strategic partnership across Great Britain. Electro Automation has been HUB Parking Technology's sole and exclusive distributor in Ireland and Northern Ireland for decades, representing HUB Parking Technology and the wider FAAC Group and establishing a strong and trusted partnership between the two organisations.

From 1st October, working closely with HUB's regional and global teams as its sole and exclusive authorised distributor expanded to Great Britain, the Electro Automation Group will provide sales, project delivery, installation, commissioning, maintenance and technical support for customers across England, Scotland and Wales. This brings together HUB's market-leading parking technology with Electro's established engineering capability, technical expertise and experience supporting parking customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Existing customers will continue to work with the experienced teams they know and trust, while benefiting from the wider engineering resources, 300-strong team and long-term investment of the Electro Automation Group, together with the technology and innovation of HUB Parking Technology. Together, HUB and Electro will continue to support customers as parking evolves through digital technology, connected mobility and increasingly frictionless customer experiences.

A Shared Vision for Growth

The strengthened partnership reflects a shared ambition to build on the proven success of both organisations, combining global parking technology leadership with established engineering know-how, experienced people and strong customer relationships to support continued growth across Great Britain and Ireland.

“Reliable solutions and support are essential to successful parking environments,” said Renato Ridella, Chief Divisional Officer of HUB Parking. “That’s why having a trusted, responsive local partner matters. Electro Automation brings the service quality, regional knowledge, and hands-on support our customers rely on, making this partnership expansion the right step at the right time. The UK market continues to be a key focus for HUB's long-term growth strategy, and this partnership evolution allows us to serve customers with even greater proximity while maintaining the innovation and expertise that define HUB worldwide.”

Electro Automation has built a strong reputation as a locally embedded partner that understands the operational realities of parking owners and operators across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Paddy Doherty, Chairman, Electro Automation Group, said “Our relationship with HUB Parking Technology and its predecessor brands spans more than 40 years, including our long-standing association with ZEAG. Today, Electro continues to grow across Ireland, Great Britain and Europe, supporting increasingly complex projects in data centres, stadia, commercial developments and critical infrastructure.

As we enter this next phase with HUB, we will bring the same customer-first ethos, high standards of service and commitment to long-term relationships that have been at the heart of Electro for more than 40 years. This next phase builds on that heritage, strengthens our capabilities and creates further opportunities for our people and customers, under the leadership of our Group CEO Lynn Murray. This is an exciting opportunity to strengthen customer support and drive further growth across Great Britain and Ireland.”

Chris Hawkins, General Manager, who previously served as UK General Manager for HUB Parking Technology and will continue to lead the GB Parking Team at Electro UK, said: “Having worked closely with both organisations for many years, I have seen first-hand the strengths each brings to our customers. Bringing these experienced teams together creates an exciting opportunity to combine outstanding parking technology with outstanding local engineering expertise. Our focus remains exactly where it has always been: supporting our customers, building trusted relationships and delivering the technical expertise they rely on every day. I am incredibly excited about what we can achieve together.”

For customers across Great Britain and Ireland, this next phase brings together HUB Parking Technology's global innovation and market-leading solutions with Electro Automation Group's engineering expertise, knowledgeable people and project delivery capability, creating a stronger platform to support customers today while driving innovation and long-term growth across the parking sector.
