 Cams Inc,, Memphis, and Michael Morais (a former new-ventures specialist for Fletcher Challenge. Auckland Auckland (ôk`lənd), city (1996 pop. 345,768; urban agglomeration pop. 991,796), N North Island, New Zealand. It is situated on an isthmus and is the largest urban region and chief port of the country. The chief exports are frozen meats, dairy products, wool, hides, and iron and steel.. New Zealand) agreed to a joint venture to buy Pro Topline, Auckland, as reported by the Sunday Star Times, Auckland.

Pro Topline, Auckland--now called Southern Performance Ltd.--designs and manufactures high-performance cylinder heads, but was failing in its marketing strategies, harming its business. Comp Cams and Morals looked to improve the marketing tactics while operating an efficient facility.

Comp Cams concluded that Pro Topline could be saved if an experienced person (Morais) on-site could maintain the metalcasting operation, while a U.S. company (Comp Cams) supervised the firm's marketing.

Through the venture, a three-month build-up to full manufacture is planned, with two years worth of forward orders. If the plant gains enough profit, a research and development center is hoped to be established.
