POWERSCREEN recently welcomed almost 400 guests to its global dealer conference in Italy.
Attendees were treated to a series of presentations and new product launches. The event also honoured some of the founding members of the Powerscreen family.
The conference included presentations from across the Powerscreen business on topics including technical sales, aftersales support, new product development, marketing, and digital solutions.
A dealer panel discussion features representatives from Powerscreen New England (USA), Van der Spek (Netherlands), Powerscreen Crushing and Screening (USA), Powerscreen Mid-Atlantic (USA), Blue Central (UK) and Lincom Group (Australia). The discussion explored challenges and trends in areas such as building and retaining the right team, aftersales service and support, marketing, and rental best practices.
Powerscreen added that breakout sessions provided insights on what products distributors feel are needed as well as what the future of the global crushing and screening industry will look like.
Neil Robinson, Powerscreen product director, unveiled five new models: Premiertrak 450, Trakpactor 480/480SR, Warrior 1800X, Warrior 1200 Hybrid, and the CT80R tracked conveyor.
A machine demonstration was held at Cave Rossetti S.p.A with the support of Impianti Industriali, Powerscreen distributor in Italy. In total, there were 15 machines on display which included a combination of working machines and static display units.
The conference culminated in an awards ceremony to induct new members to the Powerscreen Hall of Fame — Pat O’Neill, Powerscreen HQ, Paul Campbell, Powerscreen of California, Dennis Grant, Powerscreen of Florida, and Pat McGeary, Blue Group.
The evening included entertainment provided by traditional Irish music band, More Power to Your Elbow.
“Our global conference in Italy nurtured the legacy that is Powerscreen and provided an opportunity to honour those who left Ireland decades ago to lay the foundations of our success,” said Sean Loughran, business line director for Powerscreen. “It was also a means to rekindle the invaluable relationships we have forged throughout our journey — allowing time to connect, share experiences and explore shared opportunities for future growth.
“We are truly humbled by the support and dedication of our global distribution network. Together, we look forward to an exciting future ahead filled with innovation, collaboration, and lasting togetherness.”
