Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions distributor Avesco has expanded its European sales territory to offer Sandvik construction equipment and solutions in Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia.

Sandvik and Avesco have a long-standing partnership dating back to 1999 in Switzerland. The Swiss family-owned trading and services company has also served as a Sandvik distributor in Austria and Slovenia since 2015.

Avesco will now manage several Sandvik product groups in six new countries under the expansion, including surface and underground drill rigs, loaders and trucks, rock tools and mechanical cutting equipment. Avesco will sell equipment, but will also be responsible for supporting customers with after-sales service and solutions for construction applications.

Christian Bjorne, Sales Area Manager Northern Europe at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, said: “We welcome Avesco’s expanded presence into more countries in Sales Area Northern Europe and are confident that this expansion will provide our customers in the region with premium products and services, as well as enhance service quality and customer satisfaction through local presence. Avesco has demonstrated competence in serving both the construction and mining sectors in Austria, Slovenia and Switzerland, and this expansion of distribution underscores the trust in our collaboration and the quality of Sandvik products.”
