Filip Cossaer

Cossaer joined Riwal in 1996 when Riwal International gained the JLG distributorship for the Netherlands with responsibility for sales of new and used equipment. He had previously spent six years with Gunco, which was the JLG distributor for Belgium. He became international sales and rental manager when RiRent was established.

He began his access career in 1989 with Vectur LocEchaf, the Belgian sales and rental subsidiary of UpRight. He says that while sad to be leaving Riwal after such a long time, he is looking forward to taking the opportunity to use his experience in sales and rental of aerial lifts and telehandlers in a new challenge.
