Our beginnings were immediately successful, with German and Austrian car parks turning profits for our clients right from the start. In the 1990s, we expanded into Denmark, Norway and Sweden, again with great success for our Scandinavian clients. Now, we manage car parks in 12 European countries. The first part of our name reflects the Transatlantic roots of the APCOA history. APCOA’s former mother company was the Airport Parking Corporation of America. Airport parking management is still one of our key offerings. In the decades since APCOA PARKING managed its first properties in Germany and Austria, however, we have grown to succeed in more market segments, from airports to event parking; advertising; and traffic control. 1947 Airport Parking Corporation Of America Inc.
