According to Ron Hargrave, vice president of sales and marketing for Kobelco, “The new facility being built will allow us to continue our rapid growth. We are pleased to once again be offering our products as an independent brand and are working diligently to ensure Kobelco positions itself to gain continued market share moving forward. We are Driven By Passion to be a market leader of crawler excavators.”

Further supporting the company’s long term commitment to the North American market is its significant investment in ConExpo/ConAgg 2014. A 165-foot by 210-foot outdoor exhibit in silver lot booth #4408, will mark the company’s homecoming to the show as an independent brand after a 10 year hiatus. The exhibit will not only feature Kobelco’s popular line of crawler excavators but also a new line of demolition machines. In addition to equipment, the booth has been designed to create a memorable experience for attendees, one the company hopes their dealers, customers and prospective customers will remember for many years to come.
