Dressta has appointed Ferronordic Machines as the official distributor of Dressta brand covering the entire nation of the Russian Federation. This new partnership adds to Ferronordic Machines’ product offering a full range of bulldozers and pipelayers. Headquartered in Stalowa Wola, Poland, Dressta has a rich heritage and has grown to become a global manufacturer of crawler dozers & pipelayers, renowned for engineering durable, powerful machines for the toughest applications, including in mining, where its products are widely used in bulk mining operations for stockpile management, conveyor shifting and other tasks.
What gave to the company its current dynamism and a new vision for the future is its acquisition by Chinese group LiuGong in 2012, to officially become LiuGong Dressta Machinery. Since being acquired by LiuGong in 2012, Dressta has been steadily building its worldwide presence and reputation. The company focuses on continuous investment to R&D in order to drive innovation and further improvement of its products. In 2015, Dressta began to extend its network into new markets, such as South American countries like Chile, Ecuador and Argentina; whilst also strengthening its distribution reach in the home market of Europe with the appointment of dealers in the UK and France. The appointment of Ferronordic Machines in Russia further demonstrates Dressta’s commitment to expand its global footprint, says the company.
To support its global network, Dressta has a “streamlined, efficient and responsive technical service organisation” within eight commercial and aftermarket hubs around the globe located in Russia, the US, South Africa, Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Poland and Singapore “that provide a full sweep of technical & product support” to its customers and distributors. “Throughout its long history, Dressta has a proven track record in the CIS market having delivered around 14,000 units of machinery in Russia and the CIS countries. As the official distributor, Ferronordic Machines will also take over responsibility for the aftermarket support of the existing machinery population of Dressta bulldozers and pipelayers in Russia.”
Lars Corneliusson, CEO & President of Ferronordic Machines, commented on the appointment: “Dressta bulldozers are a perfect fit into our existing offering of products from Volvo CE and Terex Trucks. The addition of bulldozers will notably improve our ability to offer full-package solutions to our customers. This appointment is fully in line with our strategy to use our extensive dealer network to distribute complementary products.” Howard Dale, Chairman of the Board of Directors of LiuGong Dressta Machinery, said of the appointment: “We are pleased to have Ferronordic Machines on board of our global network: a fully fledged & dedicated distributor and leading service provider in CIS region. Both Dressta’s and Ferronordic’s mission & vision are parallel in this great industry and I have no doubts that this partneship will be a fruitful one for our customers in the region. Top-notch customer oriented service approach offered from more than 70 locations in Russia along with the extensive product offering of Dressta will create high-level 360 degree solutions that can meet expectations of even of the most demanding customers in Russia.”
