Molson Group, the UK’s largest independent equipment dealer has been awarded the distribution rights of XCMG excavators and wheeled loaders in Scotland. With sales and aftercare services to be fulfilled by their specialist construction equipment division in Scotland, Molson Young Plant Sales.
The addition of the premium Chinese brand of wheeled loaders and excavators fills a gap in the Molson portfolio in Scotland. Molson Group Commercial Director, Henry Moore said, “We have been looking to introduce an alternative excavator option into the Scottish market to complement our offering. We decided that the XCMG range met our requirements for build quality and use of well-respected and well-known components, all with the reassurance of a brand with a strong global heritage. Adding a wheeled loader brand supports our core focus of offering a single-source supply solution to our customers. The XCMG wheeled loaders into Scotland will only cement this focus for both Molson Young Plant Sales and Molson Finlay Scotland.”
Adding the XCMG brand to the Scottish market offering will allow both Molson divisions that service the region to offer customers a comprehensive range of material handling and earthmoving solutions to suit customers in a wide range of sectors, including construction, demolition, recycling, quarrying and much more.
Whilst being a new arrival to the UK market, the XCMG products will be backed up by the national aftersales support that all Molson customers can access. With over 95 mobile service engineers and a significant investment XCMG in spare parts already made, their team will be on hand to ensure any potential issues are dealt with quickly and effectively. On top of this, the XCMG ranges will be sold with a comprehensive three-year warranty ensuring peace of mind for any purchasers.
Alan Sams, XCMG Sales Director UK & Ireland, said, “Molson have built an outstanding reputation for delivering sales based on a customer-focused approach. Thanks to their thorough and professional approach at every stage of our negotiations, I am confident they will give our customers an outstanding level of aftersales backup and help establish the XCMG brand in the UK market. This approach, combined with their unique use of technology following the rollout of dealerCMD across their divisions makes them a reliable and insightful partner that we are excited to work with”.
Initially, excavators from 1 to 50 tonnes and a full range of wheeled loaders will be in stock and available from February onwards, with the Molson Young Plant Sales team bringing a range of demonstration models to the market for customer evaluation. The remaining product range will quickly follow on behind.
