Manitowoc has strengthened its presence in East Africa by appointing Europa Infrastructure as the official Potain dealer in Kenya
This collaboration enhances crane solutions, aftersales support, and service capabilities for regional customers
The appointment is part of Manitowoc’s strategy to expand in East Africa through partnerships with local industry experts. The agreement was formally recognised during an award ceremony at bauma China 2024, underscoring both companies' commitment to supporting the region’s construction and mining sectors.
Nairobi-based Europa Infrastructure specialises in tower cranes, hoists, access platforms, and concrete batching plants. The company operates with a team of 36 employees, including 14 service specialists, ensuring top-tier support for customers across the region.
To launch the partnership, Europa Infrastructure acquired a pre-owned Potain MC 120 tower crane for delivery to a local client.
Amit Raikundalia, managing director of Europa Infrastructure, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, “Potain offers superior products and unmatched aftersales support, which sets it apart in the market. Our appointment as the dealer is a demonstration of our company’s ability to deliver world-class solutions to customers. This partnership also provides us with a strong global brand to further solidify our presence in the market.”
