APS Industrial expands regional presence through Control Technologies acquisition

APS Industrial (APS) is pleased to announce the acquisition of Control Technologies, an Albury-based distributor of industrial automation, instrumentation and low-voltage products and solutions.

Founded in 1988, Control Technologies has spent more than 35 years building a reputation for providing high-quality technical expertise and service across northern Victoria and the south-west Riverina region of New South Wales.

Together with the acquisition, APS will also make strategic investment in Control Technologies to support its local warehousing capacity and stockholding, improving product availability, response times and technical support for customers across the region.

“APS and Control Technologies have had a strong working relationship dating back to the launch of our business in 2018, and they have built an outstanding reputation in the region. This acquisition enables us to build on that legacy through continued investment in our regional presence and service capability in this important market. It is equally significant for local customers, who will benefit from access to our full product portfolio, increased stockholding and enhanced technical support,” said David Hegarty, Managing Director, APS Industrial.

“The acquisition aligns with our strategy to expand our regional footprint in key growth markets and follows the relocation of our Sydney branch, which provided a significant boost to our ability to service customers across New South Wales,” he continued.

As part of the acquisition, founder of Control Technologies, Erwin Bejsta, will continue his involvement at Control Technologies and was equally positive about the outcome for local businesses in the region.

“Working closely with our customers to support their varied project and application needs – no matter how big or small –  has always been a hallmark of the Control Technologies approach. Existing Control Technologies customers will continue to work with the same local team while gaining additional access to the broad APS portfolio. And for those who are yet to give us a try, we invite you to do so as there’s never been a better time.”

APS Industrial brings together products from leading global manufacturers including Siemens, Weidmüller, Rittal, KATKO and Belden, creating the industry’s broadest portfolio of industrial electrical and automation products.

Whilst the transition and investment process has begun, the completed of the acquisition will come into effect on 1 October, 2026. The Control Technologies trading name and branding will remain in place as part of the acquisition.
