MOBILE crushing and screening manufacturer Finlay recently welcomed around 200 guests from across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa, and Australia to its World Dealer Conference in Barcelona.
The firm said the event served as an opportunity to commemorate its 65-year heritage and commitment to a ‘strong and innovative future’.
Matt Dickson, business line director for Finlay, said, “A pivotal focus of this year’s conference was to reinforce the family mentality that has been at the heart of Finlay throughout our 65-year history. Finlay is more than just a name or a logo; it’s a symbol of excellence, innovation, and integrity. It represents the hard work and steady commitment of our team and our distributors around the world. It’s a legacy that we’ve built together, one machine at a time and one satisfied customer at a time.”
The conference was marked by a series of presentations that delved into Finlay’s product offerings, operations and quality management, future solutions, digital journey, aftersales support, marketing strategies, global parts support, rental opportunities, and the added support Terex Financial Solutions brings to customers.
A keynote address was made by Al Peasland, head of technical and innovation partnerships at F1 Williams Racing.
Guests enjoyed a welcome reception on the first night at a rooftop location overlooking Barcelona harbour. The second night was an awards gala dinner to celebrate achievements of the Finlay global distribution network. This took place at the La Llotja de Mar, an 8th century building considered one of the finest neoclassical buildings in Barcelona. As the conference ended on the third evening, guests were treated to catamaran tours along the Barcelona coastline at sunset.
Matt Dickson added, “Just as important as our strong history, strong future, is strong relationships between our distribution network and our engineering, production, and support teams at our manufacturing facility. Sustaining these is integral to success. Our World Dealer Conference not only celebrated our storied past but also fostered a sense of togetherness and mutual growth, laying the foundation for a bright and innovative future ahead.”
