Work force was fully informed
As previously reported, we have acquired the majority shareholding of the Marti Group in Montescudo (Italy) and now renamed the company to RUTHMANN Italia S.r.l. We convened a staff meeting at our headquarters in Gescher-Hochmoor as well as in Montescudo - the company headquarters of RUTHMANN Italia to inform our RUTHMANN staff comprehensively about aims and plans. Both the German and the Italian employees are looking forward to the future cooperation.
Attractive addition to our product range
Our portfolio of STEIGER ® and VERSALIFT ® truck lifts will be complimented in the future by the new brand ‘Ecoline’ from RUTHMANN Italia. The (inter)national markets can expect solid and powerful products on a competitive price basis from the ‘Ecoline’ truck mounted working platforms. All models are designed for the 3.5 t chassis and available as telescopic boom models to 18 m and articulating boom models up to 20 m working height.
The well-known Italian Bluelift spider platforms stand out through their advanced technology, safety and optimal performance and reliability. The ‘Bluelift’ product range provides working heights of 12 m – 26 m and can be equipped with different drive types, such as BlueLithium and Blue-Hybrid technology. These ensure clean, noiseless and environmentally-friendly operational performance.
Everything remains better
All employees of the Marti Group will continue working for the company to secure the technical and commercial know-how and the Marti family will assume leading positions. The Board of RUTHMANN Italia S.r.l. consists of Gianni Marti, Uwe Strotmann and Rolf Kulawik, who work together in the management team. Company founder Paolo Marti is responsible for manufacturing, Roberto Marti manages the production and Gianpiero Marti acts as Sales and Marketing Manager. It has already been decided that the production capacities in Italy will be expanded. Truck mounted-working platforms and spider platforms are thus incessantly being constructed and produced in Montescudo for the worldwide market.
Winning (back) (inter-)national markets
We have been looking for ways to offer a truck-mounted platform series in the ‘low-budget’ sector besides being able to have again spider platforms in our working platform range. Thus we aim to generate market shares, for example, in Eastern Europe, the BRICS countries, Mexico and South Africa. With the products and the expertise of RUTHMANN Italia we can implement this project.
After two years of intensive familiarization all parties involved have for sure brought together any missing puzzle pieces so as to completely fulfil customer demands in the long term and to operate thus successfully.
Look forward - together with us – to a successful co-operation!
