kscarbel2 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 The former Mack Trucks and MAN share a common connection, in the sense that both the International Motor Company (the forerunner of Mack Trucks) and German truckmaker MAN produced Swiss Sauer brand trucks under license.MAN began producing Saurer trucks under license from 1915.The International Motor Company, the holding company that included the Mack Brothers Motor Car Company and Saurer Motor Company*, began producing Saurer trucks under license from 1911 at a plant in Plainfield, New Jersey which went on to become Mack Truck’s legendary Plainfield drivetrain production location. *The New York-based Saurer Motor Company had been created in March, 1911 to build Swiss Saurer trucks under license, 7 months before becoming a part of the International Motor Company in October.
