Manitowoc has appointed two new dealers for its Grove brand in Asia-Pacific to support growing demand in the region for its advanced range of mobile cranes. The new dealers are Rainbow Ace Ltd of Hong Kong and Tuyet Nga Co Ltd (TNC), based in Hanoi, Vietnam. Both will sell the full line of Grove all-terrain, rough-terrain and truck cranes and offer comprehensive Manitowoc Crane Care customer support.

Rainbow Ace was established 25 years ago, and the company already sells and supports a number of construction equipment brands to serve sectors such as road building and general construction. Chow Kwok Kei, General Manager at the company, said he expects strong interest in the Grove brand now that his company is offering dedicated, in-country representation. ?There is a healthy population of Groves in Hong Kong that are performing well but which will benefit from on-the-ground support,? he said.

TNC, based in Hanoi is a well-established and experienced equipment re-seller, with a host of brands in its current portfolio. With more than 20 years of experience, the company?s staff includes a crew of 30 technicians with deep knowledge of industrial equipment. Tran Kim Dzung, General Director of TNC, said the company expects to supply cranes to several growing business sectors, such as construction, oil and gas, mining and power generation. ?We chose to partner with Grove because its product range offers a multitude of technical options for customers that allow us to offer the right crane for customer needs,? she said.
