Cramo and Layher sign strategic partnership
Europe’s second largest equipment rental group Cramo has signed a group-wide agreement with Europe’s leading supplier of scaffolding, the German Layher GmbH & Co. KG.
“Steel scaffolding rental is important and growing business for us, especially in Sweden, Finland and the Baltic countries. We are quickly introducing this operation also in our other markets”, says Cramo’s Vice President, Fleet Management/Equipment Rental, Mr Martin Holmgren. “The agreement with Layher offers our customers an easy access to the widest assortment of steel scaffolding in the market, for example Allround scaffolding systems, façade scaffolding, façade scaffolding with temporary boards, tower scaffolding, circular scaffolding, birdcage scaffolding, suspend scaffolding, mobile scaffolding units etc. Cramo will gain an access to a specialised software program for dimensioning, layout planning and calculation of most appropriate scaffolding solution for each customer project. Standard and compatible group wide scaffolding systems will in time improve coordination and efficiency at Cramo.”
“This agreement with Cramo is important to us”, says Mrs Margot Hofmann, Sales Manager at Layher International. “We are already supplying Cramo Finland in selected regions, but this agreement opens up Cramo’s entire market for us in Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries – and over time also the other markets in the Cramo Group”.
First deliveries will be made in May.
