Linden Comansa and its subsidiary, Linden Comansa America, exhibited at ConExpo and feel the show proved that the market is really back. Linden Comansa America reports that visitors to its booth were primarily interested in its large cranes from the LC2100 Series, such as the 21LC750 and the 21LC660, that’s turntable was unveiled at the show. Both models feature versions with up to 52.9 tons of maximum load and are designed to deliver high performances at any type of public work.
“We experienced over twice the activity of the last show”, says Bill Carbeau, vice president of business development for Linden Comansa America. “The visitors had high interest and were ready to talk about purchases or equipment purchase plans. Over 60% were qualified candidates with over half of those requesting information and quotations.”
“Our theme was to generate awareness and educate the potential owner of the benefits of the Linden Comansa product range. About 25% of inquiries were related to the luffing-jib crane family, while about 75% related to various sizes of the highly acclaimed flat top tower cranes. Although no orders were written at the show, we received requests for quotes totaling over 30 tower cranes. We are confident that it will not comply with the phrase “what happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas” and that the show will be a precursor to a great year for sales.”
According to Martín Echevarría, Linden Comansa’s sales director, the ConExpo show was better than expected: “We knew that the North American market was improving, but we were pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere so optimistic and the number of new projects that are coming out. We have been very busy during the entire fair, preparing offers and making new contacts which we hope will be fruitful in the upcoming weeks.”
