The exclusive distributors of JCB heavy equipment in Qatar, Mannai Heavy Equipment Division, has delivered the first batch of JCB machines for Urbacon International (UCC), a construction company established in Qatar.

Mannai HED will provide UCC with tracked hydraulic excavators, wheeled loaders, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, telescopic handler, and a forklift.

According to Mannai, the deal took several weeks to conclude but delivery started almost immediately after the final agreement.

"We are delighted with this deal with UCC and pledge to endeavor our best to deliver effective, efficient and sustainable results based on the ever growing construction market in Qatar,” said Luigi Rubinacci, general manager, aftersales - Autogroup, Mannai. “ UCC prides itself in the timely completion of its projects and Mannai-HED is committed to support in making this happen."

Fawaz Tinawi, business development manager, UCC, added: "Sourcing our supplies from a company as widely respected as Mannai-HED is something we are extremely proud of and following this we look forward to building a long term business relationship with Mannai-HED."

Alaa Kiki, plant and equipment manager, explained that the UCC was looking for a supplier to support its growing range of projects across the Middle East.

“Having successfully completed many construction projects in Syria, we need a supplier whom we can rely on and this is why Mannai HED was our ideal choice,” said Kiki. “They provide high standards in after sales support (servicing, repairs and parts availability) and this factor has positively influenced our decision in Mannai's favour."
