WABCO Forms Worldwide

Parts And Service Network —Literature Available

WABCO Fluid Power, an Ameri- can-Standard company, has estab- lished a worldwide network of six companies to more efficiently ser- vice international oceangoing ves- sels. A free brochure on the new ser- vice is available from the Lexington,

Ky., company.

The new venture, called WABCO

International Service Network, is the result of negotiations with other manufacturers of marine fluid pow- er control products throughout the world in an effort to market and ser- vice each other's product lines. Each of the six participating companies is to be supported by distributors in the major ports of the world.

The six companies linked in the network are: WABCO Fluid Power;

WABCO Westinghouse, Hannover,

Germany; Westinghouse Systems,

Chippenham, U.K.; Nabco Nippon

Air Brake Company, Kobe, Japan;

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Miha- ra, Japan; and Westinghouse Ma- rine, New South Wales, Australia.

The companies involved have agreed to stock and service each other's parts. The long-term plan, according to WABCO officials, is to standardize manufacturing tech- niques, with each company having the capacity to produce one anoth- er's products, resulting in a united

WABCO parts operation.
