A multi-brand dealer of new heavy machinery and the parts that keep it running. Held in our own stock in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, sold under direct contracts with the factories that build it, and delivered on our own routes.
1993
Founded in 1993 by Martin Verberton and Osbert Jehanson, and run by them today. They began with one thing: find the buyer the machine the job actually needs, and see it onto the site.
No yard, no fleet, no catalogue — two people, a telephone, and the understanding that heavy equipment is bought against work rather than off a page.
Everything after that year is an answer to the question it raised: who is accountable for the machine once it has left the factory.

2001
The first agreement signed with a factory rather than through one.
From that point the company was a party to the contract instead of a link standing in front of it. The specification is ours to state, the warranty is the factory’s to give, and the name on the paper is our own.
A dealer agreement is not a folder of paperwork. It is a manufacturer’s signature under our name — which is why the warranty that arrives is the factory’s, and the configuration that arrives is the one that was ordered.

The head office moves into the Jebel Ali Free Zone.
Port, customs and warehouse inside a single perimeter. A machine is received, held, inspected and re-exported without ever leaving the zone.
That is the difference between a company with an address in Dubai and a company that works from inside the port.
350 000m²
Warehouse is not a boast about size. It is what allows one answer instead of two.
The machine is standing, in the configuration under discussion, and the class is held in depth rather than as a single unit — so the conversation starts at specification instead of at availability.
New equipment only. We do not trade used machines, and we do not offer one against a request for a new one.
05 / 09Presence
Presence is not a pin on a map. Each office opened where a link in the chain had to stop being worked by telephone.
Headquarters. Port, customs and yard in one perimeter.
Closer to the assembly line than to the market.
Central Asia, worked from inside it.
Transhipment, and the sea legs east.
The Atlantic side of the same portfolio.
Corridors, transhipment hubs, partner warehouse networks and our own customs brokers.
To the site, not to the port gate. Incoterms are agreed deal by deal; what does not change is that one counterparty answers for the chain from the factory to the handover.

Machines of this class work where the schedule is set by something other than the weather.
Power generation, mining and quarrying, ports and terminals, road and rail infrastructure. That is the company this equipment keeps, and it is the specification it is bought against — high ambient temperature, long duty cycles, and parts held before they are needed.
We do not name our customers. That is a condition of working with them.
97
Departments, not portraits. The name on your order does not change between quotation and handover.
Ninety-seven people. At the head of them, the two who started in 1993 — one as chief executive, the other as commercial director. In thirty-two years the company has not been sold on, split up, or handed to managers.
Name the machine. Specification, availability, corridor and a firm quotation — from one counterparty, under one contract.
