Takeuchi Celebrate a Memorable 30 Years in the UK on Video

It’s been an incredible year of celebration for the team at Takeuchi UK, as they reached the impressive 30 years of selling Takeuchi machines in the United Kingdom.

The distinctive red & grey machines have gained an enviable reputation over the years, for their smoothness of operation, powerful performance, reliability, and durability and have long been the “go to” choice for professional operators and owners who demand the very best from their compact equipment.

Since Takeuchi began trading in the UK from its headquarters in Rochdale, Greater Manchester in 1996, the Takeuchi brand has become one of the nation’s favourites, amongst owner-operators, plant hire fleets and utility contractors especially.

An essential component to this 30-year success has been Takeuchi UK’s long-standing dealer network, who have all helped to grow the Takeuchi customer base extensively, establishing the brand as the popular choice for excavators from 1-15-tonnes, hydraulic breakers, tracked dumpers, and the latest arrivals in the UK, compact track loaders.

With my operator’s hat on, I make no secret of the fact that I am a big fan of these Japanese manufactured machines, and I have driven a whole heap of them over the years, during which time, I have never been disappointed by them, it’s always a pleasure in the red & grey. We even got to showcase the brand on ITV's You Bet on Tour TV show with my good friends and long standing Takeuchi customers Dave Vickers and Neil Grainger

Whilst with my journalist hat on, I have had the pleasure of reporting on many of them over the years, and a few of them have made it into the celebratory video compilation put together by Takeuchi which you can see below.

A big thanks to the team at Takeuchi UK and the dealer network for all the hard work done over the years to establish the brand in the country, and of course to all the loyal customers who love the brand as much as we do!
