NIBM adds Belgium

Netherlands based Potain tower crane distributor NIBM Kraan-en Lifttechniek has added Belgium to its territory, covering the manufacturer’s top slewing tower crane range.
The company already represents Potain in the Netherlands and the German state of North Rhine Westphalia.

NIBM will provide full Manitowoc Crane Care support for all top-slewing Potain cranes operating in Belgium in addition to its new crane activities. The company has been a Potain dealer for over 40 years and supplied construction machinery in the Netherlands since 1939.

Potain’s self-erecting tower cranes will continue to be represented and supported by BLE, which also distributes Manitowoc’s Grove mobile crane line in Belgium.

Adri Van Groningen, commercial director for Benelux and Israel at Manitowoc Cranes, said: “NIBM is a recognised tower crane expert, and its knowledge of Potain cranes is second to none. Having NIBM representing Potain top-slewing cranes and BLE representing Potain self-erecting cranes means Belgian customers have access to two truly outstanding companies.”

“Each has a team of dedicated staff plus the Manitowoc Crane Care parts, service and support we demand from our dealers. This new arrangement will strengthen our presence in Belgium and bring even more benefits to our customers.”
