CHARLOTTE, NC - Constantino Lannes, President of Sennebogen North America recently announced the appointment of Power Equipment, a division of Bramco LLC, as the latest addition to their growing list of distributors.

According to Mr. Lannes, Power Equipment, established in 1946, previously a Fuchs dealer has switched to offering Sennebogen to their customer base. Their Sennebogen territory covers all of Tennessee, and selected counties in Mississippi, Virginia, Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. For Power Equipment, taking on the Sennebogen green line opened the door to a number of markets that they had not be part of in the past. In conversation with Larry Shuck, Senior Vice President of Cranes & Material Handling Products, he indicated that they were impressed with the Sennebogen product line as were their customers. He further reported that within the first month, they had sold their first machine while their sister organization Brandeis Machinery had sold two units. "This level of market response just reinforced our decision," said Shuck.

"We continue to be very impressed with the Sennebogen product line, organization and commitment to customer service," said Shuck. "As well, both of us have made a commitment to carry a complete inventory of space parts ensuring maximum machine uptime."

Another reason to add Sennebogen to the product offering according to Shuck was the Bramco philosophy to increase the commonality of the equipment offered. "This offers us a great deal of synergies going into the market. We can train more people at once and carry larger inventories. As well, because we focus on fewer product lines, we can be that much more knowledgeable about each product and therefore can better assist our clients in selecting the right piece of equipment for their application. This is consistent with our business philosophy," said Shuck.

Mr Lannes indicated that Sennebogen North America was very fortunate to continue to attract distributors of this calibre. "Power Equipment is a first rate organization and we are very proud of the fact that they have welcomed us into their organization. Being associated with Bramco speaks volumes about our products quality and capability. Just like their sister company Brandeis Machinery, they provide their customers with the ‘best of the best’. This extends not only products but to customer service and after sales support ensuring customer satisfaction at all times.
