ITT Canarias has been appointed as the new authorised Bobcat dealer for the Canary Islands. With ITT Canarias joining sister companies ITT Bobcat (the authorised dealer for central Spain, Valencia and Catalonia), Compañía Maquinaria 93 in the Balearic Islands, and ITTMach10 in France, this makes the parent, the International Trucks & Tractors (ITT) group, one of the largest distributors of the Bobcat brand in Europe.

ITT Group is a leading supplier of agricultural machinery, construction equipment and transport vehicles.

Alejandro Buitrago, manager of ITT Canarias, comments: "We are pleased to be distributing Bobcat … through our three locations on the islands of Tenerife, Las Palmas and Lanzarote, respectively, providing coverage across all of the Canary Islands, supported by 15 technical specialists and seven service vehicles.”

In addition to the sale of Bobcat compact equipment and handling the aftermarket, ITT Canarias will offer its customers an extensive range of machines for rent. ITT's specialised rental division currently has a fleet of more than 800 pieces of equipment in France and Spain. From telehandlers, mini-excavators and compact loaders, to compaction equipment and all kinds of attachments, the ITT fleet will be available for hire by Canarian users.

Buitrago stresses that the dealership will quickly be ready for business, with more than 300 Bobcat skid-steer loaders, mini-excavators and telehandlers scheduled for its specialised Bobcat subsidiaries.

Carlos Campos, district manager Bobcat – Iberia & Turkey, says the appointment of ITT Canarias ensures “a strong presence in a territory in which Bobcat has not been present for a while”.

“We are confident that ITT Canarias will once again place the Bobcat brand in the leadership position it deserves,” he adds.
