Second Annual Mecalac North America Roadshow Offers Product Demonstrations
Mecalac, a global designer, manufacturer and distributor of compact construction equipment for urban environments, announced the return of its Mecalac North America Roadshow. The second annual event is slated for nine locations starting March 26 in Miami and concluding April 17 in West Babylon, N.Y. With additional locations this year, the Roadshow covers six states across the Northeast and Southeast. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in raffles upon sign up, watch demonstrations and test run a variety of Mecalac products designed for the utility, construction, landscaping and recycling industries.
“Our second, expanded tour reflects the growing interest in the North American market for our innovative designs,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager for Mecalac North America. “More importantly, bringing back hands-on interaction with the equipment signals our commitment to customer support by helping them see how it can fit into their operation and benefit their bottom line.”
The Roadshow kicks off Tuesday, March 26, and visits six dealerships at the following nine stops:
- Case Power & Equipment, Miami on March 26
