Snorkel Names Armak Dış Ticaret A.Ş. Official Distributor for Turkey and CIS

Snorkel has appointed Armak Dış Ticaret A.Ş., also known as Armak Machinery, its official distributor in Turkey and CIS countries, the company said. Armak is a newly formed business from the owners of Uzmanlar Platform, a producer of truck-mounted platforms, and Arkon Group.

Armak has an office in Besiktas, Turkey, and currently is sharing a facility with Uzmanlar while it looks for a dedicated showroom.

After meetings on the Snorkel stand at Bauma 2016, Armak marked its appointment as a Snorkel distributor at the Ankomak show in Istanbul June 1-5, where it displayed four Snorkel lifts on its stand. Each of the four lifts were sold during the show, with further orders taken on the stand including seven Snorkel A46 articulated boomlifts.

“Armak Machinery are well respected in the construction equipment industry here in Turkey, and has an excellent network of contacts, both in the rental and industrial sectors,” said Michael Wright, Snorkel’s director for the Middle East, who attended the show to support the Armak team.

Armak is now the sole official distributor for Snorkel, providing sales, parts and service to customers in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyztan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Snorkel said it appreciates ENKA Pazarlama and its service to the Snorkel brand in Turkey during its time as distributor.
