jIGOROUS steps to increase their V business overseas has been taken by Associated Commercial Vehicles, Ltd., reports Lord Brabazon of Tara, chairman, in his annual statement to shareholders. in the home market, the demand for the company's products indicated that further increases in turnover would take place in the current year.
A.E.C. had increased their substantial holding in J. H. Plane Africa, Ltd., which was progressively manufacturing their range of vehicles and was managing their distributorship for both South Africa and Rhodesia. Sales for those territories showed a substantial increase over their previous level.
The Belgian subsidiary, A.E.C. Continental S.A., was operating profitably, and the manufacturing and distributorship agreements entered into with two companies in Holland would, to a large extent, offset the adverse repercussions they might otherwise have experienced through the formation of the European Common Market.
In Canada they had appointed Orenda Industrial, Ltd., as distributors for the range of A.E.0 industrial engines and there were now more than 1,000 A.E.C.engined Can-Car buses in Montreal alone.
"Our export policy is to strengthen our representation in all parts of the world,' said Lord Brabazon.
Net profit, as reported earlier, was £783.357.

Despite a slight recent improvement in recruiting, there was still a shortage of 379 'drivers and 270 conductors at December 1.
