Kobelco Hires Leading Product Support, Service and Training Expert

Kobelco Construction Machinery USA has hired Ernest Alvarado, an experienced field service representative, to support the growing number of Kobelco dealers and excavators in the field. Alvarado has 29 years of experience in performance testing, operation, fabrication, servicing, repair and dealer support and training of heavy equipment.

Alvarado worked for Kobelco for seven years before the company’s 10-year global agreement with CNH.

“After 10 years it’s nice to be back with Kobelco and to play an active role in the relaunch of the brand,” Alvarado said. Alvarado will be responsible for providing Kobelco’s dealer network with product support, service and training on the company’s full line of excavators in the 3,000-pound to 180,000-pound classes. Alvarado will assist dealers and customers from Kobelco’s new North American headquarters in Houston.
