USA: Dover acquires Innovative Control Systems
The provider of vehicle wash site management solutions will now be part of Dover’s Fueling Solutions segment.
Dover has completed the acquisition of Innovative Control Systems (ICS), a leading provider of car wash controllers, payment terminals, point-of-sale and wash site management software solutions. ICS is now part of Dover's Fueling Solutions segment.
Headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and employing more than 150 people, ICS has served the carwash industry for over 30 years.
"With the increasing popularity of automatic car washes among convenience retailers and independent operators, we continue to view the broader vehicle wash solutions market as an attractive and logical adjacency for our Fueling Solutions segment," said Richard J. Tobin, Dover's President and Chief Executive Officer.
The addition of ICS expands Dover's participation in the secularly-growing vehicle wash market and enhances Dover's offerings with high-value hardware and software solutions critical to vehicle wash workflows and operations.
"We are excited to bring together ICS' innovative solutions, brand recognition and vertical software capabilities, and Dover's scale, global reach and customer support capability in the convenience retail and vehicle wash markets," said Kevin Long, President of OPW.
