Finning to sell and service Komptech products
Company acquires exclusive UK dealership rights for full range of waste and recycling solutions
FINNING have acquired the exclusive UK dealership rights to sell and service the full range of Komptech products, including shredding, separation and composting equipment, which will now be sold with dedicated Finning service and support packages.
In addition, with effect from 1 January 2013, Finning will also become the exclusive dealer of Komptech products for Ireland.
According to Finning, the combined Finning and Komptech product range will be the most comprehensive and diverse waste and recycling offering from a single distributor, providing customers with a market-leading end-to-end equipment and support proposition.
Commenting on the acquisition, Greg Mulhearn, waste and recycling business manager for Finning, said: ‘The acquisition of the Komptech UK business aligns the ambition of Finning with an industry that shares our appetite for growth and is in line with the Finning vision to offer equipment solutions to the key sectors in which we operate.
‘Highly regarded by customers across the UK, the proven capabilities of the technologically advanced Komptech product range mean that Finning are well placed to increase the population of units from one of the leading manufacturers in the waste and recycling sector.’
He added: ‘It is a natural fit to our business and allows us to deliver a truly end-to-end waste and recycling solution to new and existing customers. The fact that the Komptech product line-up also uses Caterpillar engines means our service engineering team are already familiar with the heart of the product.’
Existing Komptech UK customers will now be supported by the full Finning branch network and fleet of mobile engineers. As part of the acquisition, all Komptech UK Ltd employees have joined Finning, with former Komptech UK managing director Paul Carley becoming the newly appointed Finning business unit manager.
