Gehl arrives in Colombia

Manitou/Gehl has further expanded its distribution coverage in South America as it expands the Gehl brand coverage ‘South of the border’.

The company launched its efforts to build the Gehl brand in the region in 2024 and since then has added distribution partners in Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and more recently Colombia where it has just appointed Bogotá based Chaneme.
