LGMG launches telehandlers in Europe: Seasoned professionals join the team

LGMG Europe, a subsidiary of Lingong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd (LGMG), a prominent Chinese construction equipment manufacturer, decided to bring its telehandler range to the European market this year. The company gave the first introduction to its telehandler range for the European market at INTERMAT 2024 in Paris this April, where they showcased the impressive H1840, currently the biggest telehandler in their catalogue. It has also been introduced to North America and Australia, attracting wide attention.

To support this new development and expansion in their product range, LGMG Europe has recently appointed two new team members to join the company’s telehandler team. With this expansion of the team, LGMG commits to bringing direct sales service as well as technical support for its telehandlers in Europe.

 Leveraging Carlo’s extensive background and network, LGMG anticipates a successful launch of its telehandlers in the European market.
