With a wide range of earthmoving, mining and construction equipment, the new branch has met projected sales targets since opening its doors late last year. Even before the official opening of the branch at the end of January this year, the equipment supplier had reported sales which include crushers, trenchless technologies and rollers, as well as smaller equip- ment such as compactors and rammers. According to ELB Equipment’s Port Elizabeth branch manager, Emile Schmidt, sales have far exceeded expectation and has underpinned the timeous entry of one of the country’s favourite equipment suppliers into the Port Elizabeth region. “Although we have long had a branch in East London with dedicated sales and service representatives, calls from the mar- ket have grown steadily and we have responded by establishing a modern, fully-equipped and well-situated branch in the heart of the business district in Sidwell,” says Schmidt. “We have also ensured that we have sufficient space to hold sufficient stock of machines to meet the requirements of the region. We have in stock some big machines like our Sumito- mo excavators, MST backhoe loaders and Ammann rollers, as well as a range of smaller machines like Gehl skidsteers and Ammann walk behind compactor.” b
