Triton Expands UK Operations

In a move to enhance processing, service and support operations in the European ATM market, a Triton subsidiary, Calypso Europe, has acquired various business assets from two UK based ATM management companies. In March, Calypso acquired the ATM estate and ATM management services of Cash Point Machines and the ATM estate, repair and warehousing operations of InfoCash.

Calypso Europe, along with Calypso Canada, are the ATM processing and estate management arm of leading ATM manufacturer Triton, a part of the Dover Corporation. Between the two acquisitions, Calypso Europe has acquired processing agreements in excess of 15 million ATM transactions per year.

The acquisition is part of Triton’s long-term strategy to build on their global success in the ATM industry and provide high-quality, cost-effective ATM equipment, processing and service for the ATM market. Triton will continue to sell ATM solutions for the retail market exclusively through IAD (Independent ATM Deployer) partners. These acquisitions position Triton to provide direct in-country warehousing, parts, repair, and technical service related support for all their products. In addition, Calypso Europe will provide expanded ATM processing, monitoring and management services. These acquisitions will provide further in-country support services for IAD’s to grow their retail ATM business.

“This opportunity is part of our long-term strategic vision to provide enhanced in-country operational segments that are necessary for the attainment of our goals, in this significant market,” said Triton President Brian Kett.

“This is a positive move by Triton and Calypso,” said Ed Ram, a co-founder of Cash Point Machines, who will own and continue to operate as an IAD servicing the UK market. “This is very good news for the markets in the UK which have not yet been fully explored, particularly since Calypso has such sophisticated processing solutions and Triton with their cost-effective ATM products. They are absolutely the right business partners.”

According to Eamonn O'Nolan of InfoCash, “The success of InfoCash cash machines and our reputation has been built on the outstanding support and service given to customers. I am confident that this tradition will be elevated to a new level with Triton and Calypso.”

“We look forward to expanding our operations and commitment to this key market, ” said Kett. “This will allow us to provide Triton technical, and processing support offering to our partners and customers in the UK market. This is another positive step in Triton’s goals to expand its international presence.”
