Manuco Services, based in Normandy in France, has been voted the Best Bobcat Telehandler Dealer in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in 2012.
The achievement was marked by a ceremony at Manuco Services where, with most of the company's staff looking on, Pierre Lhernould, Business Director Telescopic Handlers EMEA for Bobcat, had great pleasure in presenting Michel Coutard, Chairman of Manuco Services, with a plaque to celebrate the company's success.
With a staff of 30, including four dedicated salesmen, Manuco Services distributes the complete Bobcat range of products throughout upper and lower Normandy and has branches in Saint Jacques sur Darnétal, near Rouen and in Boulleville, near Caen.
Michel Coutard said: "We have been serving the Normandy region for over 25 years and have established an excellent reputation in the handling sector. We have also been distributing Bobcat telehandlers for many years, and these machines are made here in France, at Pontchâteau, near Nantes. The recent extension of the range, and in particular the introduction of the new TL470HF model, a 130 horsepower machine with a 190 litre/minute hydraulic system, has given us a perfect offering for the needs of our market."
Manuco Services sells most machines directly to end customers but also uses a network of agents who see Bobcat telehandlers as the perfect complement to their product ranges, and who know they can rely on Manuco Services to provide impeccable aftersales service.
As well as telehandlers, Manuco Services distributes the entire Bobcat range, including compact excavators, compact wheeled and tracked loaders and utility vehicles.
