Heavy equipment and truck supplier Icon Equipment Solutions has been appointed a Hyster dealer in the Philippines.

Hyster-Yale Group (HYG) says the partnership is a strategic move to expand its reach in the region.

Icon, founded in 2013 by parent company Concrete Masters, has four offices and two yards in the Philippines selling JCB equipment as well as Sinotruck, Ajax and Iveco trucks.

“We are thrilled to welcome Icon to our network of esteemed dealers," says HYC’s vice president of dealer development for the Japan and Asia-Pacific (JAPIC) region Simon Munn. 

"Their dedication to delivering top-quality machinery, high spare parts availability and efficient service aligns perfectly with HYG's values. 

“Together, we look forward to elevating the material handling industry and setting new benchmarks for excellence in customer service throughout the Philippines."

Icon president Chris Imperial says demand for materials handling equipment is on the rise in the Philippines as e-commerce giants expand their warehouse operations and mining companies evolve.

"Hyster's renowned reliability and advanced technology position us well to meet this demand, enabling efficient warehouse operations and smooth logistics for businesses across various industries," Imperial says.
