Bronto Skylift is opening a new service center in Rhome, Texas, in the Dallas area. The move is to enhance Bronto’s service capabilities and ensure that the company can meet the demands of its growing customer base in the region.
In addition to local mounting and maintenance operations, the service center will also offer full variety of life-cycle services such as training, product support, overhauls and modernization.
"We are excited to strengthen our presence in the North American market," said Teemu Lintula, vice president of services of Bronto Skylift. "This new service center will allow us to serve our customers better and provide them with the high-quality support they deserve. Together with our dealers and service partners we are committed to investing in our local infrastructure."
The contract for the new facility has been signed and modifications of the premises have started. Operations in the new location will begin before the end of 2025 and the operations from the company’s current location in Orlando, Fla., will be transferred to Rhome in the beginning of 2026.
