"It has always been our goal to provide local parts distribution to our dealer network throughout Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean," says Sam Ternes, director, aftersales, LiuGong North America. "The opening of this PDC in Mexico is the realisation of that goal. Our dealers will be able to receive parts delivery in a more timely manner, and we know that this additional support will make them more competitive."

Steve Smith, LiuGong's regional director, Mexico, says: "LiuGong is committed to lowest cost of ownership and after sales product and parts support. The Mexico PDC will provide benefits for our dealers and customers. This will make it possible for them to receive quicker and better aftermarket services directly from their own local dealer."
