New Holland Construction announced today its support for the recovery efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated the Sichuan Province in China. During an official ceremony in Chengdu on May 28, the company will donate a B95 backhoe loader  (95 hp) manufactured in the Italian Imola plant to the Chengdu Economy Commission to assist in the relief operations.  The value of the product amounts roughly to 600,000 RBM.

New Holland Construction’s President and CEO, Giuseppe Fano, stated: “We would like to express our deepest sympathy for all those who suffered from this devastating earthquake. We have strong links with the Province through our Japanese partner Kobelco and we hope that our contribution will facilitate a quicker recover of the disaster.”
