CASE Construction Equipment has appointed International Equipment and Contracting Co (IECC) as its new dealer for the Sultanate of Oman, to meet growing demand for construction machinery from contractors, government organizations and rental businesses. The CASE Construction equipment was unveiled amidst media guests, international and local partners and select customers. The ceremony was held at the Hotel InterContinental Muscat, and was presided by Mr. Franco Invernizzi, Director (Sales & Marketing) Africa and Middle East, Sheikh Ahmed Bahwan (Chairman Bahwan International Group Holding) and Mr. Divyendu Kumar, Managing Director of Bahwan International Group Holding.
The finest construction machinery operators from across Europe, Middle East and Africa gathered at the CASE Customer Centre Paris in October, to compete in the final of the 2016 CASE Rodeo operator challenge. Following four highly technical challenges, French operator Ludovic Fronteau emerged victorious, lifting the trophy and winning the 2016 title, while Denmark grabbed the country team prize.
Case Construction Equipment's man with a plan plots a two-pronged attack of application-specific machines and integrated applications-specific solutions in the Middle East.
While one-size-fits-all is often a positive, a few of the products revealed by Case Construction Equipment at Bauma have demonstrated that at least for certain applications, tough choices need to be made. Case's flagship backhoe is currently the Case 580ST - a model that is fit for a wide variety of applications. Employing the manufacturer's S-shaped boom, which distributes load along its entire length, the unit is a robust creation that also incorporates a hydraulic coupler to allow the operator to change backhoe attachments from the cab 'at the flick of a switch'.
