Industriewerke Saar is a depot-level repair facility
for wheeled and tracked vehicles of the German Army, as
well as a European Service Center for the U.S. Army. The
company repairs, maintains and overhauls U.S. tanks, trucks
and vehicle components.
Diehl Remscheid manufactures different track types for
tanks and armored vehicles. More than 100 tracks have
been developed and manufactured by the company and are
in use in the German Army and more than 60 countries.
The new subsidiary will continue its business activities
in the areas of tracks for armored vehicles, as well as
vehicle repair, but will also become involved with retrofitting
and upgrading military vehicles on a global scale.
By concentrating all vehicle activities in one company,
it wants to strengthen its market position, Diehl Defence
said in its statement. Company spokesmen declined to comment.
