Industrial EquipSol staff mark the addition of JLG's access portfolio

JLG has expanded its international distribution network, adding agents in Bangladesh and Russia.

Industrial EquipSol Limited in Bangladesh has been appointed as the distributor for JLG's access portfolio.

"In EquipSol, JLG has found a knowledgeable partner in the materials handling and industrial segment," says Ian Hume, sales director JLG Middle East, Africa, Russia and India.

Sharmin Akter, managing director at EquipSol, says his company is determined to raise awareness around alternatives for working at height and providing the right equipment to the market. "Our partnership with JLG enables us to deliver these much-wanted solutions to our customers."

Meanwhile, JLG has appointed SkyTech as its distributor for the Volga Federal District of Russia in the south east of the country, a region twice the size of France and three times that of Germany, with a population of around 30 million.

Based in Kazan City, SkyTech opened for business in 2010 as part of Spets Tech Trading, and was set up as a separate legal entity in 2013 to supply lifting equipment, along with earth moving, road and warehouse equipment.

It is now responsible for all sales and after-sales support in the region, including replacement parts. Other brands represented include Atlas loaders, and Kubota excavators.

In 2014, the company set up a rental operation as a sub-dealer for Fortrent.
