Montabert, a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of hydraulic breakers, drilling attachments and pneumatic equipment, has completed a transition that extends its brand into North America and replaces the Tramac brand name on select products.

“Joint branding on our products introduced the Montabert name to the market without a complete departure from what people were accustomed to,” said Stephane Giroudon, Business Manager for Montabert North America. “It provided a good foundation for us to move in this direction.”

With the transition to simply ‘Montabert,’ customers and dealers will benefit from a heightened level of product support and service, the company says.

“It’s the same great product and exceptional service as before, backed even more by Montabert’s long-standing commitment to innovation and technological leadership,” Giroudon added. “We are even keeping our iconic green colour, which we’ve had since we invented the first hydraulic breaker 50 years ago.”

More important, Giroudon said, customers can rely on Montabert’s ongoing commitment to what customers have come to expect in its products: ease of use, great efficiency, low maintenance costs and unrivaled reliability.

Montabert, headquartered in Lyon, France, with North America operations based in Suwanee, Georgia, invented the world’s first hydraulic concrete breaker in 1964. Since then it has remained at the forefront of innovation and cutting-edge technology. With more than 200 dealers worldwide, Montabert attachments are fit for use on a variety of compact and heavy carriers, providing reliable and cost-effective solutions in mining.
