JCB has announced its biggest single order from European plant and tool hire firm Boels Rental, as it invests in a brand new fleet worth near £21 million.
The Netherlands-based company has signed a deal for more than 340 machines including Loadalls, midi and micro excavators, which will be joining Boels Rental fleets across Europe including Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Italy, Slovakia and Austria.
The company has purchased over 1,600 JCB machines in recent years.
JCB group managing director global key accounts, Yvette Henshall-Bell said, “We are delighted to secure this major order from one of Europe’s leading plant and tool hire companies.
“We have worked closely with Boels for many years and it’s testament to the quality of our range of Loadalls and excavators as well as the world-class service back-up that we’ve secure this valuable business.”
Boels director of fleet operation, Guy Cremer added, “Boels Rental is one of the largest rental companies in Europe and we continue to grow year on year by increasing out fleet with the best equipment available.
“Our decision to buy JCB was based on the quality and efficiency of the product as well as the excellent aftermarket support we receive from JCB throughout Europe. Boels and JCB are both family businesses sharing many common values and I am glad that our long standing partnership continues.”
Boels is active in 17 European countries, with more than 400 branches.
