Kobelco looks for deals as ‘True Blue’ returns to the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Russia

Letter from Jun Fujioka, President & CEO, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. "For the past 10 years, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and CNH Global N.V. have maintained a global alliance. On December 26, 2012, we announced that this alliance would come to an end. As a result, our business activities would no longer be limited to certain regions of the world, one of the main strategies of the alliance.

From January 1, 2013, we will be able to sell KOBELCO-brand excavators in their distinctive blue-green color directly in world markets. We will actively build strong sales and service networks focusing on the United States and Europe. South America, the Middle East and Africa, Russia and other CIS countries are also in our sights.

To help us achieve this goal, we are seeking new dealers around the world. We are confident of growing the value of the KOBELCO brand with reliable dealers and business partners. We are also excited about new business opportunities this change offers around the world.

The tunnel boring machine (TBM) for the Orlovski Tunnel will surpass all previous TBMs. With a diameter of 19.25 m, the tunnelling shield, designed to link both halves of the center of St. Petersburg under the River Neva, sets a new world record.
