New cooperation with SOMA in Portugal
We are glad to welcome SOMA Environmental Solutions Lda. as our new exclusive distributor in Portugal.
SOMA is located in the city of Ovar in Portugal and is present in the two largest cities in Portugal; Lisbon and Porto, where they have their own body building and service workshops.
SOMA Environmental Solutions Lda. started as an industrial unit dedicated to vehicle body building and has since developed into designing solutions for urban cleaning and environmental work. The company is specialized in waste handling and environmental solutions and has in this connection also sold cranes.
They have now decided to create a separate crane division with HMF cranes. It will make it possible to extend their line of business, so they will not only handle the cranes on their own vehicle body buildings, but also sell them to a new category of customers.
In relation to this, they have hired new staff with experience in sales and service of cranes. The fact that they already have a ready-made set-up with a distribution and service network and crane experience is clearly an advantage for HMF, so we can start right away.
Smooth transition period
Even though our long-standing distributor, Jose Mendes, has chosen to retire, we are lucky that he has decided to work for SOMA Environmental Solutions Lda. and HMF as a consultant until his full retirement. This will ensure a smooth transition period and he will share all his knowledge with SOMA.
Michael Lystager, our Regional Export Manager, says the following about the new partnership: “We’re delighted that SOMA Environmental Solutions Lda. is our new partner. They have a focus on quality and service which fits well with our requirements for good service and quick delivery of spare parts for our customers. With their thorough knowledge within the field of trucks and innovation, I’m sure that it’ll be a good cooperation.”
As we welcome our new distributor, we would at the same time like to thank Jose Mendes for his efforts and dedication to HMF through many years.
