MEC Aerial Work Platforms has hired two industry veterans, Allan Chew and Martin Davies, for its international sales team.
Chew has 20 years of industry experience representing UpRight, Genie and Snorkel in the Asia Pacific region. His MEC territory includes China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Brunei and India.
“The access industry in Asia Pacific is in its beginning stages,” said Chew. “A ‘sunrise’ industry so to speak, with good potential for MEC in the emerging market. MEC's reliable equipment, coupled with my friendly approach, will help build a strong and successful dealership network throughout the region.”
Martin Davies was previously director of sales and marketing for Skyjack (Europe, Africa, and the Middle East). He now handles MEC sales in the U.K. (Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) plus he started up and operates the first MEC U.K. distribution center, based in Oswestry, Shropshire.
“We’re already taken delivery of our first MEC units,” said Davies. “Who doesn’t want faster lifting and lowering speeds, stronger gradeability, and a better-built unit from the ground up?”
The U.K. distribution center is also taking orders for the first MEC boom series, with initial production units scheduled to roll off the assembly line in August. MEC telehandlers are also slated for the U.K. market.
MEC Aerial Work Platforms manufactures self-propelled scissorlifts, booms, and telehandlers in Selma, Calif.
