Wacker Neuson’s place in SA “Wacker Neuson products stem from exceptional German engineering and it is for this reason customers can never go wrong when choosing our machines and equipment to complete their projects. Companies like Hire All enable us to further expand our African footprint by bringing the premium Wacker Neuson brand to more customers across South- and Sub Sahara Africa,” says Vietze. Wacker Neuson South Africa extended its machine attachment portfolio as newly appointed, authorised dealer for Italy-based machine attachment specialist, Cangini Benne. Last year Wacker Neuson South Africa was enabled to distribute and sell the complete range of Cangini Benne attachments within the South and Sub Saharan African territories. Cangini Benne was established in Italy in the 1980s and the brand has been present in Southern Africa for approximately ten years. The company is globally renowned for the design and production of one of the widest attachment portfolios on the market which include standard and hydraulic work tools for excavators, skid-steer loaders, wheel loaders, and telehandlers. Wacker Neuson leads the international market in the design, manufacture, and supply of all these compact machines. The relationship between the two companies kicked off in 2014 when Antonio Cannaò, International Sales Director for Cangini Benne, visited the Wacker Neuson stand at the Nampo agricultural show. Cannaò considers Wacker Neuson a valuable addition to the Cangini Benne dealer network. The agreement gives Wacker Neuson access to the full Cangini range. The Cangini excavator buckets, hydraulic brooms, and mulchers are particularly popular with Wacker Neuson customers because of their high quality. Cannaò adds that they see great potential in the Southern African region for hydraulic tools for both excavators and front-mounted machines such as tilting hitches, selector grabs, mulchers, concrete mixer buckets, different types of sweepers and sweeper buckets as well as a unique laser-guided dozer blade. He points out that these will be the perfect match for Wacker Neuson’s skid steer loaders and wheel loaders for very accurate and fast grading. b
