Mecalac has opened a new 14,000-sq ft facility in Norfolk, Massachusetts, to serve as the North American headquarters and further support the growth of the brand in this market. The new facility centralises Mecalac's administrative offices, equipment inventory, parts, and service support in one building, replacing the three separate locations the company maintained previously. It will be home to an in-house training facility, and play host to dealer and media events throughout the year.

"The North American market has been very receptive to the Mecalac approach, which puts a heavy emphasis on innovation," said Alexandre Marchetta, CEO, Mecalac. "Every piece of equipment is designed with the end user in mind and solves the challenges operators face daily. The new facility underscores our commitment to the North American market and will allow us to better serve our growing dealer network and customer base."

"One of our priorities is to expand our dealer network across North America," said Peter Bigwood, General Manager of Mecalac North America. "We currently have 15 dealers and plan to grow at a measured but steady pace. To serve our customers the best way possible, we look for dealer partners who understand the construction equipment market and share our enthusiasm and vision for reshaping how contractors work with highly differentiated, innovative products."
