Under the new deal agreed, Doosan has been confirmed as the sole supplier of new wheeled loaders for the European operations of CEMEX, covering facilities in France, the UK, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Spain.
Commenting on the CEMEX order, Gilles Bendaoud, vice president of sales & marketing Europe for Doosan Infracore Europe, said: “We are delighted to finalise this agreement with CEMEX for the supply of new Doosan wheel loaders for CEMEX operations in Europe. We are very pleased in the confidence shown by CEMEX in Doosan as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of quarrying and construction equipment and in the Doosan range of wheel loaders. Doosan intends to build a long-term partnership with CEMEX for their Construction Equipment requirements.”
