  • Re Inquiry Into Post 2005 Assistance Arrangements for the Automotive Manufacturing Sector
    The Secretary Via Email to: auto@pc.gov.au Automotive Industry Inquiry PO Box 80, Belconnen ACT 2616 Dear Sir, Re Inquiry into Post 2005 Assistance Arrangements for the Automotive Manufacturing Sector We wish to make a submission in relation to a number of automotive matters and would ask that the Commission accepts this document as the company’s initial presentation to the subject inquiry. Introduction to Premoso Pty Ltd Premoso Pty Ltd (“Premoso”) is an Australian subsidiary of the UK based, TWR Group Limited (“TWR”) and employs approximately 190 personnel throughout Australia. TWR is a globally renowned automotive entity supplying advanced styling and engineering inputs to automotive manufacturers such as Jaguar, Renault, General Motors, Ford, Aston Martin, Nissan, Volvo, Mazda and Saab. It is also heavily associated with international motor sport and currently fields the Formula 1 “Arrows” team. Its design and engineering centres in Leafield and Worthing in the UK were replicated in Australia during 1999 with the commissioning of a facility located in Clayton, Victoria. This business operates through a separate subsidiary entity to Premoso and features the exchange of both technology and human resources. The business model for Premoso is predicated upon the existence of a certain niche demand within the automotive market, for exotic, high performance passenger motor vehicles, which in the main, are generally satisfied by imports. The model is structured to enable the company to exploit that demand by combining the company’s recognized strengths in design, styling innovation and engineering with an independently produced platform to produce a vehicle, which fulfils both market requirements as well as commercial investment expectations.
