A LEADER in southern Africa’s heavy-duty earthmoving machinery market, SANY, has opened a new branch in Richard’s Bay. The expansion into KwaZulu-Natal is motivated by the province’s vast scope of industries. The branch will serve the construction, materials handling, mining and forestry industries and will supply front-end loaders, excavators, graders and dump trucks. Backhoe loaders will be available in 2024.
The branch is the company’s third in South Africa and forms part of its expansion plans for the region. SANY SA is a part of the Chinese leading heavy-duty machinery OEM, the SANY Group.
The Richard’s Bay branch offers full customer support and aftersales service to maximise optimal uptime for customers. Support for after-sales service will come from the company’s state-of-the-art Johannesburg warehouse, which houses over R170 million in spare parts. The branch’s team of fully qualified professionals has extensive industry experience to facilitate sales and service.
The 500sqm premises is located in the industrial hub at Alton, among the region’s most reputable OEMs and big industry players. It also enables customers working in the targeted sectors to easily reach the branch to shorten downtime.
SANY SA’s general manager, Jay Moodley, conveyed the company’s optimism and goals for the branch, “SANY is committed to growth, and we view this new branch as a strategic move toward growing our presence in local industrial activities. Through customer prioritisation, we aim to grow our visibility and expand our overall footprint”.
