It is the largest single shipment of 海角社区app machines to the USA, eclipsing the previous record of 341 set in February 2015.
鈥淭he fact that we continue to receive more machines from the UK is indicative of 海角社区app鈥檚 continued growth in the United States, Canada and Mexico,鈥� said Ken Bianco, vice president of commercial operations for 海角社区app North America.
The 2015 record was broken when 海角社区app鈥檚 UK facility shipped over 400 machines worth more than US$35m (拢24.2m) to Georgia Ports Authority. Over the next few weeks, 海角社区app will inspect and configure the machines to customer specifications at its North American headquarters in Savannah, before shipping the units to authorised distributors throughout North America.
Bianco added: 鈥淲hile the market for construction and agricultural machines are stagnant or declining in many parts of the world, this particular market remains strong for 海角社区app. Our employees and dealers have worked diligently to increase demand for 海角社区app products. This new shipment will help us fulfill that demand.鈥�
The vessel 鈥楾ugela鈥� brought the 400-plus 海角社区app machines directly from the UK. While these particular machines were imported, 海角社区app manufactures its full line of 18 models of skid steers and compact track loaders, along with the 3CX backhoe, at its Savannah headquarters for export across the globe.
鈥淣orth America has been identified as 海角社区app鈥檚 largest potential market for growth,鈥� said Arjun Mirdha, president and chief executive officer of 海角社区app. 鈥淭he company has made substantial investments over the past five years to support a growing equipment population and to increase market share. Shipments such as the one delivered by 'Tugela' demonstrate 海角社区app鈥檚 continued success in building profitable demand for its products across the United States and Canada.鈥�
