2024 finishing strong!
As we enter fall, Takeuchi continues to push towards a strong finish to the year. We just finished training more than 160 dealer salespeople on the newest Takeuchi products, as well as ensuring they understand how to meet your compact equipment needs.
Speaking of new equipment, we are pleased to have recently launched the new TB395W wheeled excavator here in North America. This is our first wheeled excavator in this very important market. The TB395W combines powerful excavating capabilities with superior on-road performance, offering speeds up to 18 mph.
In August, Takeuchi-US was a part of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Manufacturing Express Bus tour. The AEM bus stopped by our Moore, SC track loader production facility to showcase equipment manufacturing jobs and what they mean to the U.S. economy, as well as celebrate the men and women who put it all together. While there, we were also able to mark a new milestone at our Moore facility as the 10,000th unit came off the assembly line since we began producing loaders there in September of 2022. It was a great accomplishment and well-deserved celebration.
Takeuchi also added another brand ambassador to the family—Brandon Johnson of Elite Earthworks in Joplin, Missouri. Brandon is a long-time Takeuchi customer, and his unique approach to site preparation couples well with his Takeuchi equipment. Please follow him on YouTube, Instagram or Facebook to see how he uses his talent and Takeuchi’s to make his customers smile.
If you want to meet Brandon, he will be joining us at Equip Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, October 16-18. If you have never attended the Equip Expo show, I encourage you to visit with us at our indoor booth, #11146, and our outdoor booth, #7734D, where you can test out our equipment.
I wish you well as we move to the end of 2024 and begin anticipating what 2025 has in store. We appreciate all your support as we cannot do this without you, our loyal owners.
