In addition to Genie boom lifts and scissor lifts, this deal also includes the distribution of all Terex product lines.

Sharbel Kordahi, managing director of Terex AWP for the Middle East, Southern Africa, India, Russia and CIS, added that Galadari Brothers is a flagship company in the UAE. “With more than 40 years of experience in the region, they have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the market, backed by strong sales and aftermarket support teams.”

Kordahi said the UAE had always been a strong market for aerial platforms and it is expected to grow quickly post-Covid-19. In this respect, with a readily available stock of Genie machines and spare parts, GTHE will be prepared to ensure fast delivery with the in-the-field service that customers rely on.

“In addition to their nationwide presence and experience, they are also able to provide sales terms that offer the financial flexibility that customers need to help support their businesses.”
