Ramon Santamaria

Since January he has held the post of commercial director at Hune, which acquired a 30 percent stake in Nacanco Italy, when it purchased Nacanco Spain in 2007. Since April he has also been working with Nacanco Italy and has now been confirmed as its commercial director.

Santamaria said: “In this particular economic moment the customer is more oriented to the rental of machines, rather than purchase. However, the rental market is mainly composed of small jobsites which end in a few days and causes a considerable movement of machines, without a relevant economic value.”

“Adaptation to customer needs with machines always available and in perfect order, delivery response speed and collection on site, competence in solving unexpected problems ... these are all topics that, especially in times of troubles in the market, can direct the customer to choose Nacanco”.

Nacanco operates from 16 branches in eight regions of Italy with a fleet of more than 2.500 machines, 140 employees and rapidly rising revenues.
