| CHARLOTTE,
NC - Building
on a strong reception by customers in North and South Carolina, one of
the largest equipment distributors in America's southeast will now represent
SENNEBOGEN green line material handlers in the state of Florida.
Constantino Lannes, President of SENNEBOGEN North America, announced that
Briggs Equipment, with its Construction and Scrap Handling Equipment headquarters
in North Carolina, has been appointed to service the company's customers
in Florida. With 15 sales and service locations throughout the southern
seaboard states, this appointment consolidates SENNEBOGEN customer service
in the region with one of the industry's most respected distribution organizations.
Briggs Equipment has been actively developing an expanded range of products
to increase its offering to niche markets over the past two years. Recognized
as the largest CASE equipment distributor in North America, Briggs' Construction
Equipment Division first took on the SENNEBOGEN line of purpose-built
material handling machines in Spring of 2003. Founded in 1952, Briggs
Equipment made its name as a major supplier of lift truck equipment and
also operates one of America's "Top 25" equipment rental fleets.
According to Briggs' Sales Manager Scott McGuigan, the SENNEBOGEN machines
give his firm a more complete product range to offer customers in scrap
handling markets and port operations. "We have been wanting to diversify
our customer base," he explains. "We have been very pleased
with the support from SENNEBOGEN to meet customer needs and with the manufacturing
quality of the machines."
According to Lannes, "Getting Briggs to represent SENNEBOGEN in Florida
is a big plus for us and our distribution network. When you have a company
like Briggs, you know that you have a distributor that focuses on the
customer."
McGuigan looks forward to enjoying the same success with SENNEBOGEN in
Florida that he has seen in the Carolinas. "Customer response has
been excellent; it's very rare that a SENNEBOGEN machine comes back after
we put it out to demo. Florida is a good scrap market and a good port
market, so we see a chance to grow our business here as SENNEBOGEN grows
its market presence in America."
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.
