Quinton Major benefits from WNT expertise

摘要

Quinton Major Precision was founded out of the adversity that was the recession of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Its two founders, Frank Clark and Rodger Smith, were employed at the time by Brown Brothers Engineering Ltd (originally Brown Brothers Aircraft), which became a victim of the downturn and was closed by Dana, its American parent company. Seeing a viable business within the remains of the company, Frank and Rodger came to an agreement with Dana to purchase the stock and machines that made up the 'gear-lever section' of Brown Brothers. They then formed a new company, Underfold Ltd, in 1982 to manufacture nine varieties of assemblies for Land Rovers, Sherpa Vans and the SD1 Rover car.
