Sennebogen adds new dealers in Canada
SENNEBOGEN LLC has recently welcomed Mi-Jack Canada, out of Alberta, and Hydromec in Quebec to the company’s dealer network.
“Mi-Jack is among the world’s most respected names in heavy lifting applications," said Constantino Lannes, President of SENNEBOGEN America. "We are extremely pleased to have that level of expertise and focus representing SENNEBOGEN equipment in Alberta and Saskatchewan.”
Brian Lynch, the Manager of Mi-Jack Canada at its branch in Leduc, Alberta, not far from Edmonton, sees the SENNEBOGEN line as an excellent fit with the growing opportunities in his territory. “I was very aware of SENNEBOGEN through my past experience in the Chicago area. My colleagues at Howell Tractor represent SENNEBOGEN, and you only hear good things about the green machines.”
Lynch sees these purpose-built material-handlers making quick in-roads into the region’s scrap-handling and recycling markets. Logging and forestry, long-time mainstays of the Alberta and Saskatchewan economies, also represent significant potential as the industry turns around from the current recession.
In recent years, SENNEBOGEN material handlers have also become a more frequent sight in barge unloading along North America’s inland waterways. According to Lynch, Mi-Jack cranes and SENNEBOGEN machines can be very complementary to each other. "Working side-by-side they would provide a complete material handling solution,” he says.
“In Saskatchewan, everything is growing!” Lynch continues. “We’ve seen continuous increases in demand there for all of our product lines, and SENNEBOGEN will be an important part of our future sales throughout the province.”
The core of Mi-Jack Canada’s business is the company’s own highly regarded gantry cranes and intermodal equipment.
Lynch and members of his team have already attended sales training sessions at the new, expanded SENNEBOGEN head office that opened recently in Stanley, North Carolina. “I was actually in the first group to receive their factory training there,” he says. “Meeting with the other 40 dealers and technicians in the group was a great opportunity to share in their knowledge of the SENNEBOGEN customers and applications. Plus, it’s a fantastic facility and clearly demonstrates SENNEBOGEN's commitment to customer service.”
SENNEBOGEN also recently announced that Hydromec will represent the SENNEBOGEN green line in Northern Quebec from its two locations in Dolbeau-Mistassini and Chicoutimi.
Hydromec is a family owned company specializing in service and repair, primarily for hydraulic and mechanic components that go into forestry machines. Jean Trottier, president of Hydromec, says his company will start offering the SENNEBOGEN product line to its customers involved in waste management facilities, recycling operations and scrap metal yards, as well as forestry operations and those in sawmills and logging operations. He will be covering most of Northern Quebec including the Gaspé region.
“We are bringing in four material handlers, the 305 (shown above), the 821 for the recycling and waste industries and the larger 825 M and the new 830 M-T wagon puller machine for logging applications, so we will have at least one or two machines at all times at our location.”
