Prime Plant (PPCL) has been appointed by
Headed up by managing director, Patrick Webb, who has over 20 years of experience in the market, PPCL is now responsible for sales and service of the Doosan Heavy range of crawler and wheeled excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks; the Bobcat range of compact loaders, excavators and telescopic handlers as well as the Doosan Portable Power range of compressors, generators, light towers and light compaction equipment.
PPCL intends to focus on the key markets of construction, public works, landscaping, general industry and agriculture on Mauritius.
“We are already planning an expansion in our operations, because the demand is there. To begin with, we are concentrating on the customers who are our partners and we want to bring added value to the relationships we have with them,” Patrick Webb explained.
To celebrate the appointment, PPCL held an opening ceremony attended by more than 70 customers, who were joined by Daniel Dupuy and Adem Urer, the regional director Africa and district manager Africa, respectively, for Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment.
Daniel Dupuy said: “I was very impressed with the way that PPLC has taken on this challenging appointment as setting up simultaneously a joint Doosan Heavy, Bobcat and Portable Power dealership is not an easy task. But from day one, Patrick Webb and Charles Derblay, the technical director at PPLC, have been very efficient and proactive in getting ready for the opening. They have organised very rapidly, from the personnel point of view, all the required staff including parts customer service representatives, service engineers, accounts, parts and sales people and, of course, the receptionist were in place from day one. At the same time, the company ensured the premises were fully operational with customer service desks for parts, parts shelves, the service workshop for light maintenance and repairs and a show room with machines, attachments, accessories and parts on display were all up and running well before the opening ceremony.”
Patrick Webb agreed: “Complementing our sales department, PPCL has a professional aftermarket service. We have tried to make sure that everything is in favour of the customers, with qualified personnel, customised service and a thorough knowledge of the business and the Bobcat and Doosan brands. We appreciate the confidence expressed in us by Doosan as demonstrated by the presence of both Daniel Dupuy and Adem Urer at the opening ceremony.”
