Doosan wins Saudi contract
Doosan Infracore has signed a contract to supply 10 50-ton excavators (DX520LCA) to a Saudi Arabian construction company. The customer is using various types of construction equipment supplied by the company in its large-scale construction project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Having already purchased 10 articulated dump trucks (ADTs) from Doosan Infracore in early 2020, the Saudi contractor will be using more than 50 pieces of Doosan Infracore construction equipment including 70-ton excavators, wheel loaders, ADTs, and the latest purchase (50-ton excavators).
Although the construction equipment market in the Middle East has stagnated due to low oil prices and the COVID-19 pandemic, Doosan Infracore has maintained a market share of more than 10% in the region by launching competitive new products and implementing an integrated customer service called ‘DoosanCARE’ while striving to continue winning large accounts.
“We are reinforcing our product lineup, including large excavators, in order to flexibly respond to the rapidly changing market environment and fierce competition in the region,” said an executive from Doosan Infracore. “We plan to focus on expanding our sales in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, in particular, as large excavators account for a relatively high proportion of their construction equipment markets.”
