CHARLOTTE, NC - In a recent statement by Constantino Lannes, President of Sennebogen North America, he indicated that all SENNEBOGEN’s models starting from 44,000 lbs up to 240,000 lbs. are now represented in Western Pennsylvania as well as Central and Northern Ohio by Gibson Machinery LLC. "We are proud to have Lee Gibson and his team as part of our growing family of the country’s best equipment distributors. The Gibson family has been in the equipment business in this region for over 60 years. The Sennebogen family has been in business for over 50 years. It is a perfect match."

Gibson Machinery, with over 25 people in their operation is located in Oakwood Village, (just outside of Cleveland) Ohio. The operation, run by Lee Gibson and his wife Larysa, is equipped with complete in-service bays and has 5 service trucks providing on-site service in the region. Lee is also active in the local ISRI organization having served on a number of committees and boards over the years.

"We looked at a number of material handlers," said Lee. "However, in my opinion there are only a couple of machines that have been built from the ground up. The SENNEBOGEN green line machine (called that because of its environmentally-friendly design and its color) was built for one purpose only ­ repetitive lifting and swinging. Others have tried to customize their machines but you can only achieve so much. After looking at all of them, the selection process was simple. These machines outperform their competition and the yards in our territory with 835M’s are very pleased with them. They have increased their operations’ productivity and increased their ROI over competitive machines."

"Furthermore," continued Gibson, "it has been a pleasure to work with the people at Sennebogen North America. They have made a commitment to the market place and they stand behind their product 100%. This is something that I looked for when choosing a product to represent."

"For our perspective, we wanted a strong dealer in this region who has a good rapport with their customers. Lee Gibson has built his reputation and organization on just that", said Lannes. "We have already had excellent feedback from customers and potential customers who have told us that we made the right decision. We know that this will be an excellent relationship."

Finally, according to Mr. Lannes, "We understand our customers’ needs on an ongoing basis. Therefore, we have made an ongoing commitment to after sales service and support. This means that everyone in our organization has been factory-trained. As well, in order to ensure high machine availability, we stock a large parts inventory in the Charlotte warehouse to make sure that if a customer needs a part that it will be there."

Reliable, versatile and cost effective SENNEBOGEN green line material handlers are custom designed and supplied by SENNEBOGEN’s North America headquarters located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
