History

History

In 1967, after several successful years working for Mercedes Benz in Stuttgart, Germany, Josef Dagn retourned back to his rural home town of Koessen, Austria and rented a small garage. In 1970 he started a radiator repair service for both modern and vintage cars.1980 saw the development of the first SEDA plug, which has now been sold over 200.000 times. In the same year he also presented a complete radiator test system at the Automechanika traid fair in Frankfurt, Germany.

After expanding the garage Mr Dagn concentrated on developing devices and special tools for the cars of reputable enterprises in the automotive Industry such as Mercedes Benz, Vauxhall, VW, Renault, General Motors, Volvo, Peugeot, Nissan, Ford, Seat, MAN and the German automobile club ADAC. In 1984 SEDA expanded again when SEDA of America was grounded in New York. 1991, after the development of a SEDA built Sportscar, the AC cobra replica which won a lot of awards, Josef Dagn built the first coolant recycling machine in. By the end of 1993 the development of the worlds first complete vehicle drainage system was completed.

Seda developed their research and development department which continued to refine existing products as well producing innovative new ones. The SEDA products were very well received in the USA. In 1999 SEDA of America was changed to SEDA Environmental Inc and the headquarters was moved to St. Petersburgh in Florida.

In 2003 SEDA changed to SEDA-Umwelttechnik GmbH. Due to great success in the Netherlands, SEDA Environmental Benelux B.V. was founded. Seda Benelux is working towards installing 250 SEDA Systems in the Netherlands.
