Multiquip Construction Equipment Pvt. Ltd., the Mumbai, India-based distributor for Multiquip Inc., signed an exclusive dealership agreement last week with Kuwait’s Badar Almulla Bros. Co. WLL.

The company now sells most of Multiquip’s construction equipment line to construction professionals in Kuwait and neighboring Iraq. Badar Almulla Bros. now carries dewatering pumps, light towers and concrete placing and finishing equipment, including fixed form paver screeds, trowels, and concrete and masonry-cutting tools, and the KD Series industrial generators from Multiquip’s Engine & Equipment division.

“The construction equipment industry is expanding rapidly throughout the Middle East,” said Narinder Jit Singh, chief managing director of Multiquip Construction Equipment. “Badar Almulla has a distinguished history of providing effective solutions to a variety of businesses and Multiquip is glad to be a partner in its future success.”

Badar Almulla Bros. was founded in 1938 dealing electrical and domestic appliances. The company has since expanded to become one of the leading businesses in Kuwait with a wide range interests in trading, engineering, commercial and financial services.

The expansion into Kuwait and Iraq is part of Multiquip’s rapid global development. Since the early 1990s, the company has increased its worldwide presence and now has more than 70 international dealers. In addition to Multiquip’s United States headquarters, company offices are also located in Manchester, England; Laval, Canada; Puebla, Mexico; and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Carson, Calif.-based Multiquip Inc. is a leading supplier of compaction equipment, welders, generators, concrete and masonry saws, placing and finishing products, dewatering pumps and other construction equipment.
