Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe B.V. (KCME) announces the addition of four new Italian dealers to its expanding European network. The appointment of Sergio Bassan SRL, BSM Brescia Macchine SRL, SMIA SRL and Arnus SRL is particularly significant for the Japanese manufacturer as it marks its entry into Italy.

The demand for mini excavators and heavy machinery in Italy has been increasing for the past three years and the demand for Kobelco excavators is also intensifying. Kobelco’s extensive range of high performance excavators covers both categories. With this in mind, the four new dealer appointments are important to KCME as they enable the company to enhance its service offering geographically, and further develop important customer bases in the region.

Managing Director of KCME, Makoto Kato, commented on the latest Italian dealer developments: “Italy is one of the biggest countries where we have a passionate Kobelco fan base. We are delighted to welcome these four new dealers as they will provide a gateway for us to enter one of the top five markets in Europe. Importantly, the appointment of Bassan, SMIA, BSM and Arnus demonstrates our commitment to servicing our new customers in Italy”.

“Kobelco’s extensive excavator line-up is ideal for this new market. Our mini, midi and short radius ranges, many of which include our innovative iNDr technology, are ideal for Italy’s urban landscape, while our larger, high performance machines are built to withstand some of the toughest environments while still saving fuel at the highest industry standard. We’re looking forward to learning more about our Italian customers’ requirements and are, of course, keen to continue expanding our network here.”
