Jul 27, 2022 Andy Roth, Diesel Electric (Rand)
An Oak has fallen…Andy Roth
Andy Roth, respected, popular and much-loved industry stalwart who achieved so much and positively influenced so many in the motor industry, sadly passed away after a short illness.
The CEO of Robert Bosch's flagship Diesel-Electric (Rand), Andy Roth had passion for what he did in all aspects of life, adding huge value in his assertive manner.
German-born and educated, Andy, upon completion of his Masters’ degree in Commerce majoring in Import/Export disciplines, decided to emigrate to South Africa by joining the Bosch Organisation. In 1977 he founded SUCOSA which became a leading supplier of parts to the automotive aftermarket and continued its momentum of growth when he acquired Diesel-Electric (Transvaal ) in 1985. The Organisation grew from strength to strength and is a leading supplier of quality parts and services to the motor industry.
Andy has always distinguished himself as an excellent leader and a true visionary and was widely recognized as an outstanding businessman honouring the highest standards of integrity and ethics in everything he did. He has left a huge gap and will be sorely missed by his loving family, colleagues and business associates.
