Company history

The company was founded in 1989 by Mr. G. Kollitz as trading in used vehicles of the “Pontiac Fiero” brand and importing bodywork kits based on the “328” model of an Italian sports car manufacturer. The company was based in Breitenbach . In 1990 the production of automobiles began with the existing imported components, the quality of which, however, did not meet requirements. The brand name was FESC - Fiero European Sport Cars. In September 1992 the company was taken over by the engineer Eric Ohrnberger, based in Ludwigshafen, and the quality of the body components was significantly improved by producing his own body parts. In addition, the product range was expanded through the manufacture of our own chassis components and accessories, as well as further kit models. The company is still located in Ludwigshafen am Rhein and is managed by Mr. Eric Ohrnberger. But it's just a car repair shop related to American cars. It is not known when production of the vehicles and parts ended.
