JCB and Mach 1 officials sign an agreement

Mach 1 has been appointed as the official dealer for JCB in West Malaysia, and will be exclusively responsible for the region.

Mach 1 will operate from a combination of two flagship integrated JCB sales, service and spare parts centres in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru, along with four additional sales and spare part branches that the company plans to open before the end of 2019. The first of these will be located at Penang and Batu Pahat, with branches at Ipoh and Kuantan to follow.

Mach 1, formed in 2000, has a strong understanding of the market, as well as the specific needs and day-to-day demands of its Malaysian customers.

From its growing network in West Malaysia, Mach 1 JCB provides customers in the construction, industrial, oil and gas, and plantation sectors with significantly improved access to JCB's product range and aftermarket support.

Pan Chee Seng, Mach 1 Group executive director, says: "JCB is a brand that has always interested me greatly and I am confident that with our experience in West Malaysia, we will be able to provide world class customer support to our customers, whether they may be existing owners of JCB products or new ones experiencing the brand for the first time."
