KUCHING: Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has opened a new dealership in the city to better serve its Malaysian customers.
Known as the Borneo VCE dealership, it is a sub-dealer of Volvo CE Malaysia, and acts as an independent dealership covering East Malaysia.
It will focus on the sales and service of the full Volvo CE product line, including articulated haulers, compact excavators, compact wheel loaders, crawler excavators, wheel loaders and wheeled excavators.
The launching of the new dealership took place on June 22 this year.
In addition to celebrating its new dealership, the event also saw the launching of the Volvo EC550EL crawler excavator.
There was a product presentation followed by the handover of the first four models to local customers SSF Quarry and Alam Suria Equity, with each company receiving two units.
Meanwhile, Head of Market SEA Roger Tan said the new dealership is a very important milestone for Volvo CE Malaysia.
“With Borneo VCE, we are expanding our network to better serve customers in the east of the country.
“Borneo VCE is associated with our long-time partner for Malaysia, so we know they have the passion, experience, and expertise they will bring to Volvo customers in this region. We look forward to celebrating many future successes together,” he said in a press release.
Borneo VCE managing director Ting Heng Lee said they are proud to be the exclusive partner of Volvo CE in East Malaysia.
“The company is leading the way in the international construction equipment market with fuel-efficient machines and some exciting low-and zero-emission solutions.
“We are convinced that working closely together can make great things happen in Borneo,” he said.
In addition to the four EC550EL excavators handed over at the launch of the event, Borneo VCE has also received a signed order from Alam Suria for a further two machines.
The same contractor has also received three A40G articulated haulers. Meanwhile, SSF Quarry ordered two L260H wheel loaders, and two EC200D crawler excavators have been delivered to other customers.
