Automotive service company betting on area growth

When he returned to West Michigan in 1997, Bob Cutler could have purchased a company in any number of sectors from an advertising agency to machine shops or a foundry.

But it is somewhat appropriate that this former surgical equipment technician and salesman eventually purchased Muskegon Brake from Bob Scolnik in 1998. A 1972 Reeths Puffer graduate, Cutler came to the automotive service business with an extensive background as a professional off-road rally race driver.

Grabbing a wrench and getting underneath a vehicle is familiar for this business owner as the Porsche rally racing vehicle's rear suspension being rebuilt on his North Muskegon garage floor will attest. Rally racing is a two-person event in which four-wheeled drive vehicles race against the clock in predetermined off-road courses.

Auto exports tracking 35% growth

Thailand is striving to become the automotive production hub of Asia by 2010, according to Commerce Ministry permanent secretary Karun Kittisataporn.

Speaking yesterday at the opening of the Thailand Auto Parts and Accessories (TAPA) 2006 exhibition, he said this would be the second major milestone for the local auto industry. The first was passed in November last year when the industry achieved the production of one million vehicles in a year, making it the world's 14th-largest vehicle manufacturer.

TAPA 2006 has been organised for the second successive year by the Commerce Ministry's Export Promotion Department, and is being held at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre.

Karun said the country would be producing more than 1.8 million automobiles per year in 2010, and 800,000 of them will be exported.
