Given the size of the order AMHEC managers made a special trip to the Tadano plan in Japan, with the long time Tadano distributor Saleh Abdulaziz Abahsain.
Tadano chief executive Toshiaki Ujiie, AMHEC chief executive Abdullah Faisal Al Suwaiket, and Saleh Hamad Al-Mogbil, managing director of Saleh & Abdulaziz Abahsain met at Tadano's Shido Plant in Kagawa, Japan - where most of its Rough Terrain cranes are built, for the first unit handover.
