PLANS by Repeo,• Ltd., Melbourne, Australia, to compete in Britain in the supply of transport service equipment were outlined exclusively to The Commercial Motor on Tuesday. The company's range of appliances, which includes crankshaft grinders, oil-engine injection service equipment, valve grinders and small tools, such as torque wrenches, is produced against a home background of high labour costs in the vehicle-maintenance trades, and it is thought that special design features incorporated to reduce these charges will appeal to British operators.
Repco, with a capital of £74m., also produce components, including clutch centres, pistons and rings and transmission shafts and joints, for vehicles made in Australia, and as replacements for British, American and Continental models. World-wide export business rose by 24 per cent. during the past year.
The company's London office is at 59 St. James's Street, W.1.
