Multimatic Launches Special Vehicle Operations
Global automotive technology provider, Multimatic, has announced the creation of a Special Vehicle Operations group (MSVO). The new organisation, led by Larry Holt, Executive Vice President MSVO, has been formed in response to Multimatic’s continued growth and diversification throughout the global automotive industry. The company’s engineering organisation has correspondingly grown, over the past 30+ years, to encompass a varied and diverse number of operations around the world with an impressively large and talented technical community.
MSVO will be responsible for all vehicle engineering developments as was undertaken for the Ford GT, motorsports projects like the Mazda DPi, and all race team operations, continuing the use of the Multimatic Motorsports identity. Additionally, low volume vehicle body/chassis manufacture, carbon fibre part production and low volume niche component supply will also be incorporated within the new MSVO. Multimatic Motorsports will continue to operate on both sides of the Atlantic, from dedicated facilities, providing a unique proposition in the global GT and prototype competition space.
The Multimatic Engineering group will now be led by Jim Holland, a highly experienced automotive engineering executive, with a focus on providing the industrial manufacturing groups of Multimatic with continued product and technology development while maintaining a close relationship with Holt and MSVO to assure a two-way flow of expertise, resource and technical culture.
