Kobelco to merge European ops

As part of its Global reorganisation Kobelco is merging its European crane and excavator companies in Europe.

The sales and service of excavators in Europe are currently carried out by Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe in The Netherlands, while the sales and service of cranes is handled by Kobelco Cranes Europe in the UK.

From the start of 2018 Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe will now be responsible for the sales and service of both excavators and cranes throughout Europe, Russia/the CIS states, French speaking North Africa and Israel. The company will continue to be based in Almere, the Netherlands, and will retain the UK office in East Grinstead. The day to day operations of UK crane business will be unaffected by the changes.
