Haulotte Africa & Islands, part of the Haulotte Group and supplier of material lifting equipment, has signed a distribution agreement with Côte d’Ivoire-based ICOGEF EQUIPEMENTS
The new development will strengthen Haulotte’s presence in West Africa in a bid to provide a better quality of service locally. ICEOGEF is based in Abidjan and offers handling and logistics equipment as part of its ambition to provide the best advice and 360° support for its customers.
Hassan Khalil, general manager ICOGEF, remarked, “Our vision and objective have always been to position ourselves as a solutions provider and not just an equipment supplier, which is why this partnership between Haulotte and ICOGEF EQUIPEMENTS will enable us to offer complete, professional and high-quality solutions to our customers, who have placed their trust in us completely. Haulotte, its reputation and its dynamic team, in addition to our determination to succeed, will be the strong points of this success.”
Greater support for Côte d’Ivoire customers
According to Haulotte, the two entities will now work together in order to progress knowledge sharing and best practices in order to better serve the local market.
Thierry Seon, director of Haulotte’s Africa & Islands subsidiary, commented, “Côte d’Ivoire is a country in the midst of an economic boom, so strengthening our local presence was an obvious choice. The dynamism and determination of Hassane and his team to move forward convinced us of this partnership.”
