For us, this means developing the professionalism of our industry, part of which includes promoting the safe use of the equipment that we provide, as well as introducing new technology to our customers, be it in terms of clean running machines that respect the environment, or offer improved platform capacities, offering increased productivity and even higher levels of performance.”
