Ateco, the exclusive importer of Ferrari, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Citroen and Fiat products for Australia and New Zealand has extended its interests to cars from China.
The company’s Managing Director, Neville Crichton, announced yesterday that a distributorship agreement for Australia and New Zealand had been signed with Chery Automobile Company.
Ateco first approached Chery almost three years ago, leading to Neville Crichton signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in China with the company in November 2005, with the distributorship agreement eventually being executed earlier this month.
“We believe that China represents the future as a source of automotive products which makes this association with Chery a very exciting development for Ateco,” Mr Crichton said.
