SAC Research & Development Centre - opening July 2007 | In what must be hailed as the most exciting development in the history of the Steves Auto Clinic Group thus far is the news that a dedicated research, development and training centre will be opening in July 2007. | Although the last 18 months in SAC Holdings has been very busy with the addition of some great new development vehicles, both diesel and petrol. In order to remain the market leaders, Steve Fischer, the Group's Founder, has rightly identified the next stepping stone in this legendary success story is the need for such a centre. | |  | |
| “...they are bringing product onto the market quicker than before...” | | The market competition is upping their game all the time, they are bringing product onto the market quicker than before and they are bringing better product onto market at the same time. Customer's demands are changing too; they want quick high-powered solutions with minimal modifications to their vehicles. | | Everybody in the industry knows that tying up staff and equipment developing test cars is not at all cost effective in the daily scheme of running a SAC Branch. So it was with all this in mind that a vast amount of money has been invested in a site that will offer superior boardroom facilities for meetings, training rooms for training and a state of the art dyna facility where all facets of the upgrade process can be monitored. | | In a move to see this transition happen as smoothly as possible, Gideon du Preez, a long time member of SAC Group who started out many years ago as mechanic with a passion for fast cars and progressed right up through the ranks to owning the Bloemfontein franchise, taking in every facet of the business along the way, has joined the technical team at SAC Holdings and will be very much involved in the way forward for the new R&D Centre. | | |
