The new partnership gives ALMAT responsibility for KOBELCO representation across six departments, strengthening the manufacturer’s local presence and customer support in southwest France.
KOBELCO Construction Machinery Europe (KCME) is expanding its dealer coverage in France with the appointment of ALMAT as its new authorised partner for a significant territory in the southwest of the country.
Led by Managing Director Benjamin Allard, ALMAT will represent KOBELCO across Charente-Maritime, Dordogne, Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne, as well as the southern and western areas of Charente and the northern part of Landes.
The appointment strengthens KCME’s dealer network in France, with the company placing particular emphasis on local representation and professional customer support. ALMAT brings experience in the industry alongside established knowledge of the territory and local customer requirements.
For KCME, those regional capabilities are central to the partnership as it continues to develop its presence and customer relationships in France.
“We are very pleased to welcome Benjamin Allard and the entire ALMAT team to the KCME dealer network. Benjamin and his team bring considerable experience, strong local market knowledge and, importantly, a genuine passion for the KOBELCO brand. Their dynamism and commitment will be valuable assets as we continue to develop our business and strengthen our customer relationships throughout this important territory in southwest France. We look forward to building a successful and long-term partnership with ALMAT.”
Said Jean-Philippe Delion, Business Director for KCME in France.
Six departments under the new partnership
Under the agreement, ALMAT’s territory covers departments 16, 17, 24, 33, 40 and 47. More specifically, the dealership will represent KCME in the south and west of Charente, Charente-Maritime, Dordogne, Gironde, the north of Landes and Lot-et-Garonne.
The geographical coverage gives ALMAT responsibility for developing the KOBELCO brand across a broad part of southwest France while providing customers in the territory with local sales representation, service and support.
ALMAT’s knowledge of the region, industry experience and understanding of customer requirements are expected to support KCME’s continued development across the territory.
For ALMAT, the agreement adds KOBELCO to its activities and builds on the company’s existing customer relationships in the region.
“We are very pleased to begin this new partnership with Kobelco and to join its dealer network. KOBELCO is a brand we have a strong appreciation for, particularly for the quality, performance and reliability of its machines. We are proud to represent the brand across our territory and are committed to providing our customers with the high level of service and support they expect from ALMAT. We look forward to working closely with the team at KCME and to developing the brand further across the region, building on our knowledge of the market and our established relationships with customers.”
Said Benjamin Allard, Managing Director at ALMAT.
The appointment forms part of KCME’s continued development in France, with ALMAT now taking responsibility for representing and supporting the KOBELCO brand across its newly assigned southwest territory.
