Terex Cranes has appointed Arcomet as its authorised distributor for tower cranes in Germany. Arcomet will provide equipment sales for the full range of Terex flat top and luffing jib tower cranes.

Arcomet has offices in Zülpich near Cologne, Niemegk near Berlin and Negenborn near Hannover.

The Belgian crane specialist has invested significantly in experienced sales forces for the German market.

"We are more than proud to have Arcomet as our distributor in Germany," says Marco Gentilini, vice president and general manager for Terex Cranes. "Arcomet grew ... to be the largest independent tower crane rental company in the world, has one of the strongest experiences in the construction industry, and has earned a solid reputation.

"With their investment in Germany in multiple locations, service technicians and parts stock, I believe that our product range paired with Arcomet's capabilities will meet our German customers' needs."

Sven Vrancken, commercial director for Arcomet, is similarly enthused about the appointment: "We are very excited about our distributorship with Terex Cranes. They have been a long-standing partner which we fully trust.

"Their wide range of products, their ability to act quickly as well as their outstanding application engineering make me confident that Terex Cranes and Arcomet will together be able to make our German customers successful."

Arcomet, headquartered in Limburg, Belgium, is a manufacturer and hirer of construction cranes. The company, which began in the 1950s as a sub-contractor for coal mines, is now the largest independent crane hire company in the world.
