THE import and marketing of MagirusDeutz commercial vehicles will be the initial task of a private limited company, Seddon-Deutz Ltd., incorporated on November 10 with an authorized share capital of £100,000. It has been established by Klockner-HumboldtDeutz AG and Seddon Diesel Vehicles Ltd. At a later stage it will assemble Deutz vehicles in the UK, probably with a British content.
An announcement made on Tuesday reveals that directors will be Dr. H. G. Emmendoerfer (export director K-H-D), Mr. S. M. Thieme (managing director of the engine subsidiary British Deutz Ltd.), Mr. H. Redmond (Seddon chairman) and Mr. D. Redmond (director of Seddon). General manager of Seddon-Deutz is Mr. Frank Tinsdale.
A 20,000 sq.ft. service centre set up at Middleton, Lanes, is equipped to service all Continental makes and it will carry spares for Deutz vehicles—both those currently being imported and models brought in by the former concessionaire.
Seddon-Deutz Ltd. is at Stakehill Trading Estate, Middleton; telephone 061-6439251.
