International construction equipment manufacturer Chicago Pneumatic has appointed CE Rental OY as its new authorised distributor in Finland. With nearly 20 years’ experience in the Finnish rental industry and a wide service network covering the whole country, the company will support Chicago Pneumatic by distributing its range of RX hydraulic breakers, RC compactors, compaction plates and hand held hydraulic tools to customers seeking short or long-term hire options.

“We had been looking for prime products to widen our offering for a long time, and decided on Chicago Pneumatic, because it offers high quality, durable and competitively priced construction equipment”, said Kari Halmela, Product Manager at CE Rental OY. He added: “We have been offering Chicago Pneumatic products for about six months now, which have been very well received so far; with customer feedback being nothing but positive.”

CE Rental is a subsidiary of Mateko Oy, which imports, sells and distributes ground construction equipment.
