BRIGGS EQUIPMENT SIGNS ON
WITH SENNEBOGEN FOR THE CAROLINAS
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Charlotte, NC - It was recently announced at the ISRI (Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries) Show in Orlando, Florida, that Briggs Equipment, the largest Case dealer in North America has signed on as a distributor for SENNEBOGEN green line Material Handling machines for both North and South Carolina. Initially, according to Scott McQuiggan, Sales Manger for Briggs Equipment in Charlotte, "We noticed their advertising in industry publications and talked to a number of people about them around the same time we were looking to add a new line of equipment. We are very selective in the lines we represent and now with SENNEBOGEN, we have three including Case and Hamm."

Scott sees SENNEBOGEN as a niche product for a fast growing, untapped and certainly under serviced area. "We have succeeded in business by supplying our customers with a level of after sales and service support they are not used to getting from anyone else. This is truly what differentiates us from our competitors."
He also felt that there was a great deal of potential in the Carolinas for SENNEBOGEN green line machines.

"With the number of yards in our territory and being able to offer a yard-proven machine, we are looking for growth. We could offer a Case excavator, but as good a machine as the Case is, it is built for digging, not lifting."

According to Keith Ahlstrom, National Sales Manager for SENNEBOGEN LLC, "We know that Briggs Equipment is exactly the type of organization that we were looking for. And even though they have only been in the Carolinas for 3.5 years, this is a 50 year old organization with a stellar reputation. We are fortunate that our product and organization met their criteria for selection."

Briggs Equipment has 19 locations between North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida and presently offers the full line of Case Equipment, Hamm Compaction and now SENNEBOGEN Material Handlers.

SENNEBOGEN has been a leading name in the global material handling industry for more than 50 years. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, SENNEBOGEN North America offers a complete line of purpose-built machines to suit virtually any heavy lift or "pick & carry" application. A growing network of distributors supports SENNEBOGEN sales and service across North America, ensuring the highest standard of professional machine support and parts availability.
