Myers Group and Johnson's of Welland acquire new Hitachis

Myers Group and Johnsons of Wellfield have welcomed two new Hitachi excavators to their quarry operation, marking the start of a new partnership with Hitachi Construction Machinery UK.

The delivery of a Hitachi ZX530LCH-7 and ZX210LC-7 represents a significant investment in productivity, efficiency and long-term operational reliability for the business, which has been operating from the Johnsons of Wellfield quarry for more than 50 years.

A well-established name within the industry, Myers Group specialises in dimensional stone extraction, primary and recycled aggregates, and landfill operations. While the company has successfully operated mixed equipment fleets throughout its history, this is the first time Hitachi machines have been introduced to the site.

The decision to invest in Hitachi equipment was led by a focus on reliability, durability, fuel efficiency and strong aftersales support, according to Senior Operations Manager, Ben Strickland.

Having worked with Hitachi Construction Machinery UK previously, Ben was already familiar with the brand's customer support network and expertise, helping to build confidence in both the machines and the people behind them during the procurement process.

Since arriving on site, the new excavators have quickly made a positive impact on operations.

The early performance of the ZX530LCH-7 and ZX210LC-7 reflects the qualities that have made Hitachi excavators a trusted choice across the quarrying sector. The Reliable Orange Hitachi machines are engineered to deliver dependable performance in demanding environments, combining robust construction with operator-focused technology and fuel-efficient operation.

The investment underscores Myers Group and Johnsons of Wellfield's commitment to enhancing productivity while creating a comfortable and efficient working environment for operators.

Hitachi Construction Machinery UK is proud to support Myers Group and Johnsons of Wellfield as they begin their journey with the Reliable Orange and looks forward to developing a strong and lasting partnership in the years ahead.
