HCMUK appointed KTEG dealer

Hitachi Construction Machinery UK (HCMUK) has been appointed as the exclusive UK dealer for KTEG products. KTEG products offer bespoke solutions that are tailored to the industry needs of customers and range from systems for demolition and special civil engineering to battery-powered crawler excavators.

David Roberts, CEO at HCMUK commented, “HCMUK has a long and successful track record in supplying and supporting high quality, specialist machines into the UK demolition sector and so our appointment as the exclusive UK dealer for KTEG products was a natural step for us to take. 

“A R Demolition is well known for its pioneering spirit and was the first to run KTEG machines in the UK, very successfully for several years now, and its decision to renew the KMC600 is a glowing endorsement for the product, and we are delighted to be supplying this highly flexible, productive, and durable machine to them,” David continued. “Being backed up by our class leading product support team, we know it will provide the team at AR, years of high productivity with maximum up time.

"In addition, we believe the move toward decarbonisation has started within the construction machinery sector and so the time is right to introduce the ZE85 and other innovative products into the UK market, and the feedback and interest has been incredible so far which only backs up our belief.”

Harald Thum, CEO at KTEG commented, “KTEG accomplished the market leadership for high reach demolition machinery within the few last years in Germany. Furthermore, we have stepped into the European market for zero emission excavators successfully since the official release at Bauma 2019.

“This development was possible, because our products offer an additional value for our customers paired with the highest quality,” Harald added. “Due to the exclusivity of our products, doors can be opened. We are very happy and proud that we officially handed over the key to these doors to HCMUK. Without a doubt, HCMUK is an excellent and experienced partner for sales and service for our products.

"The KMC600P-7 for AR Demolition is a shining beacon that the whole demolition industry in UK will look at,” Harald continued. “The ZE85 and Powertree, shown at Futureworx are pioneering products, which will lead towards a sustainable and eco-friendly construction site in the future. These first achievements in cooperation between HCMUK and KTEG are just the start – we are looking forward to writing many more success stories together.”
