Zytek Engineering has announced it will change its name to Gibson Technology beginning on Oct. 1.

Zytek founder and Gibson Technology Limited owner Bill Gibson sold Zytek Automotive to Germany-based Continental AG earlier this year and the company today confirmed its new name.

“We are very excited about the new branding of the company but want all our customers and suppliers to understand that we have made these changes to clarify our identity following Zytek Group’s separation,” said Gibson.

“We can assure them that everything else here at Repton will remain totally unchanged. I intend to ensure that we remain at the forefront of the motorsport world, in both current and new technologies.”

Gibson Technology is currently working hard on the design of its new LMP2 coupe, set for end-of-season testing and delivery to teams in 2016. It will also continue to give engine support teams around the world.
