HYUNDAI Construction Equipment Europe (HCEE) has expanded its distributor network with the appointment of Rygor Plant as its dealer for Greater London, the West Midlands, the south west including Bristol and Wales.

Rygor Plant is a division of Rygor Group, which incorporates Rygor Auto, one of the UK’s largest commercial vehicle dealers for Mercedes-Benz Trucks, SAIC Maxus light commercials and Higer Buses. The group also includes Rygor Service Solutions, a fleet workshop division that specialises in the management of commercial vehicle fleets.

Rygor Plant will supply the complete range of Hyundai Construction Equipment machinery. This will include new models launched at bauma 2025. The business can deliver genuine parts, service and warranty cover for new and existing customers and it will hold stock of new and used machines.

Commercial director Rish Channa said, “As a group, we already cover a vast geographical area throughout the UK, via our 17 locations, so we really know what it takes to partner with an OEM of Hyundai’s stature and how to develop an impactful, long-term relationship. We are all about brand dedication, living and breathing the product, the brand and the culture, not just in sales, but across the entire company, including our award-winning aftersales team.

“Rygor Plant will be one of the largest Hyundai Construction dealers in Europe, and this is a very proud moment for our team. We are delighted to be partnering with Hyundai to offer its complete construction range across our entire territory and beyond. Rygor Plant has a strong foundation on which to offer our customers end-to-end solutions, focusing solely on providing capital equipment directly to the end user.”

Anthony Hogben, Hyundai Construction Equipment’s regional sales manager for the UK and Eire, added, “We are delighted to have Rygor Plant as part of our dealer network in the UK. The company has an excellent reputation for service and back-up and many of its existing customers work within construction-related applications. This is a particularly exciting time to be joining Hyundai, as we build on our traditional model lines, like crawler and wheeled excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks, with the addition of materials handling machines, dozers, skid steers and compact tracked loaders.”
