New Bobcat dealer for Northern Sweden

The Bobcat distributor for Sweden, Bobcat Sverige, has appointed newly formed company Nordkust Maskin to handle the sales and service of Bobcat equipment including telehandlers in the north of the country. The territory includes the entire area from Umeå on the east coast to Kiruna in the far North.

Nordkust Maskin was established earlier this month by overhead crane and mining industry veteran Johan Gustafsson, following a year and a half as general manager of the mining division of Caterpillar dealer Zeppelin Sverige.
Gustafsson began his career in 1997 as an electrical technician with Konecranes and then Luleå Hamn, moving to Vattenfall as head of lifting services in 2006. Then in 2011 he started Cranex to sell and service overhead and industrial cranes, building it into a three location 28 employee business before selling to Midroc in 2020. He will kick off his new venture and partnership with Bobcat from a stand at the Load Up North Fair in Boden this week.

Through the new collaboration, we will strengthen Bobcat's presence in the area and be able to offer even better service and support to current and future customers. We are very confident that Nordkust Maskin is the ideal partner for us in this area, and together we will continue to offer the same unique Bobcat experience that customers in Sweden have come to expect."

Nordkust Maskin owner Johan Gustafsson added: "We are very proud to offer the full range of Bobcat products including light compaction, skid-steer and compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders, small articulated loaders, mini-excavators, rigid frame telehandlers and rotary telehandlers up to 40 metres. We will keep a stock of new machines, attachments and spare parts for customers at our facilities at Betongvägen 42 in Luleå. With this, we hope to be able to contribute to the continued development in Northern Sweden, offering local companies top quality products and solutions with excellent service."
