Default Correct Pronunciation for ABT Sportsline? A.B.T or aaabt like "opt"

I keep hearing A.B.T but I always knew it as ABT for the last names of the owners.

"Johann Abt founded the rapidly growing Abt Sportsline GmbH which is now under the direction of his two sons, Hans-Jürgen and Christian Abt. Johann Abt notched up more than 300 victories, competing nationally and internationally as a works driver for Abarth and DKW. Today, Johann Abt contributes to the success of the company with his enormous wealth of experience. The Abt family has a long-standing tradition spanning more than 100 years, beginning as blacksmiths crafting horseshoes back in 1896."
